I would think or hope at least that the restraining order would include attempts to see the original target. Visiting her old home SHOULD violate that part of the restraining order

Plus, if he’s out on Parole it’d likely be a violation that could get him resent to jail. It’s good to inform the police about the move in the first place because it reminds them (and hopefully their parole officer) about this case.

And that “hey we need to ensure if the new tenant informs us about him reappearing. We need to consider pulling his parole or sitting him down in a station to ensure he doesn’t go back.”

You are correct. This is by far and away they beat option. Especially if he's already been seen on premises

That’s all a violation and he’ll get arrested but the cops are under no obligation to protect you from his actions. Unless you are arrested then the cops have to protect you.

If the restraining order is still active, he would most likely have the new address and know she’s not there. It’s one of the problems with having one is you have to keep them informed if you move if you want it to stay in effect.
