Attorney General Nessel Launches New Webpage on Extreme Risk Protection Orders

*LANSING* – As Domestic Violence Awareness Month comes to an end, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has launched a new webpage on Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPOs) on the Department of Attorney General’s website. The website provides Michigan residents with information about how ERPOs, also known as Red Flag Laws, can help prevent gun violence and save lives. 

In May 2023, Michigan passed multiple firearm safety laws [ [link removed] ] to protect our communities from gun violence. Among these new laws were ERPOs, which allow civil courts to temporarily prevent people at risk of harming themselves or others from possessing or buying guns. There have been hundreds of ERPOs issued in Michigan since the law’s passage.   

“Extreme Risk Protection Orders are vital tools in our ongoing effort to reduce gun violence,” Nessel said. “Whether it’s preventing a potential mass shooting, a suicide, domestic violence, or another tragedy, ERPOs empower families, law enforcement, and others to take action before it’s too late. I hope this webpage will help more Michiganders understand how ERPOs work and feel confident using them to protect themselves and their loved ones.” 

The webpage provides information to help residents: 


* Learn about our state’s ERPO process in Michigan;
* Understand who can file an ERPO;
* Access guidance on how to file an ERPO;
* Find out what an ERPO does and how it protects individuals; and
* Location contact information for local advocacy organizations. 

The ERPO webpage is available now on the Department’s website [ [link removed] ].
