Protection From Abuse Database

The Protection From Abuse Database (PFAD) Project is a computer archival system for the electronic entry of all pleadings and orders relating to Protection From Abuse (PFA) Act cases in Pennsylvania. Records from PFAD are immediately available 24 hours a day/365 days a year to authorized users via a secured Internet Web site. PFAD staff provides trainings to users. These include on-site training in counties that are just beginning to use PFAD and those counties that require supplemental training. Staff also trains local law enforcement throughout the Commonwealth and provides training on
PFAD´s indirect criminal contempt and civil contempt processes.
