Public Presentation on the Extreme Risk Protection Order (aka Red Flag Law)

Featured Speaker:  Attorney Joe Van Thomme; also speaking Northfield Chief of Police Schroepfer  (or his representative)

In 2024 the Minnesota legislature passed the Extreme Risk Protection Order, a law that families can use if a family member is threatening gun violence or is suicidal.  Learn how this law can be used to provide protection by asking local law enforcement to remove guns from your home. How does the law work?  When is this law used?  When is the gun returned to the household?

Joe Van Thomme is a lead criminal prosecutor in the metro area.   He has represented municipalities in dozens of Extreme Risk Protection Order actions since 2024 and was a state editor for the Minnesota ERPO Law Implementation Guide.
