What else can I help you with?
Can police enforce a court order?
Yes, police have the authority to enforce court orders, which are legal directives issued by a judge. This may involve arresting individuals who violate the order or carrying out other actions specified in the court order.
Can Police refuse to enforce a court order because they say it is a civil matter?
Yes they can, however, this depends on the nature of the court order. If the court order is a civil judgement (small claims lawsuit) then yes this is a civil matter. However, if the order specifies something to the nature of: Police shall provide security the named plaintiff, when she/he on such and such dates, arrives at such and such place to remove such and such property. Then no, the Police cannot refuse to enforce the order since doing so would violate the order. Child Support and Civil Debts, are civil matters and outside the jurisdiction of Law Enforcement. Where as if the Police are listed in an order or this is a court ordered custody exchange and a parent kidnaps a child beforehand, or an order for safety or protection then the Police are required to enforce it.

Why do sheriffs come looking for someone?
The Sheriff and his Deputies are law enforcement offices who have the authority to enforce BOTH criminal AND civil law (Police departments can only enforce criminal law!) They are also the agency that the court uses to serve the court's papers and enforce the court's orders.
How is judicial power exercised?
To the extent the court issuing an order is recognized as legitimate, the court has power because either people agree to comply with its decisions or because the holder of a court order can get police or military to enforce the decision. A court whose decisions cannot be enforced is a nullity; it has no judicial power. A U.S. president once decided to defy the Supreme Court over an issue by saying that if the Chief Justice decided the way he did and the President won't go along, "where are the Court's troops to enforce the order?"
Should you call the police if your 16 year old refuses to see you on your day?
