New protection for victims of violence
A new Domestic Violence Protective Order Registry will protect victims of violence countywide, the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department announced Aug. 1.
The registry will be a central clearinghouse for protective orders, eliminating the need for victims of abuse to file paperwork in every city of the county. Police will be able to use the registry to enforce restraining orders countywide.
The registry will also provide deputy sheriffs to serve civil protective orders countywide, and probation officers to resolve conflicts related to protective orders.
Street repairs planned
Between Aug. 12 and Aug. 16, workers will tear up and repave two sections of road: Los Gatos Boulevard from Mitchell to Loma Alta avenues and Main Street from Loma Alta to University avenues.
For information about traffic conditions, drivers can call 399-5770 between 7 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. that week.
