Effective Implementation for Extreme Risk Protection Orders

The presentation will describe, broadly, the varied implementation strategies for Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPO) throughout the United States, and their implications for outcomes. Presenters will then discuss the broadly held misconceptions we hold regarding how frequenting a "mass shooting" occurs in the United States. A comparison showing how the definition of "mass shooting" effects the perception of the problem and which tools often used or not used to address the problem. Finally, through three ERPO case studies from the work of Detective Christopher Carita in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the presentation will highlight the effectiveness of ERPO in preventing mass shooting incidents.
