In most domestic violence calls, the responding officer will arrest the party who appears to be the aggressor. Even if the alleged victim chooses not to press charges, it is likely the state will still seek a conviction. This usually results in a no-contact order automatically being issued that prevents the defendant from engaging with the other party in any way.

The protection order can be extended by the by the alleged victim, or they can request that the court remove it completely. Any violation of this order could lead to another arrest, additional charges, and make it hard to mitigate the damage from the original domestic violence crime.
