The number of extreme risk protection orders handled by the Orange County District Attorney’s Office has doubled to 62 following the expansion of red flag law in New York, according to District Attorney David Hoovler on Nov. 3.

An extreme risk protection order (ERPO) is a court order under state law that prevents a person deemed at risk to himself or others from buying or owning guns.
