Because a protective order is a civil court order, a victim can drop an order of protection. The victim must return to the court and ask the judge to dismiss the order.
If the judge decides that there was abuse and that there is also a credible threat to the plaintiff's safety, a final order of protection will be granted and will last for up to one year. The plaintiff will be directed to go to the clerks counter to wait for the order.
