Go to criminal or family court to obtain an Order of Protection
Have an Order of Protection served without charge by law enforcement officers

If the police have reasonable cause to believe that more than one family/household member committed a misdemeanor they are not required to arrest both parties, but must attempt to determine who the primary physical aggressor in the situation is.
Police must arrest when a duly served Order of Protection, or an order that the abuser has direct knowledge of, has been violated by either the abuser failing to “stay away” from you or by committing another offense. 
Have an order of protection honored regardless of where it was issued
