Louisville Using Electronic EPO Process

{Kentucky}...Louisville has become the first community in the nation to process emergency-protective orders electronically. Louisville has been testing the system since August 22nd. Court officials say obtaining protection orders and getting them into the hands of law enforcement  has long been a time-consuming process, but, under the system, the average amount of time it has taken for nearly 400 petitions to be signed is less than 30 minutes. Officials, including U.S. Representative John Yarmuth, D-3rd District, say they hope the rest of the state will get the system soon. Christian County is next in line to get it in a few weeks.
