Promoting Assault Awareness and Protective Regulations for Servers, PAARPS, initiative has created a petition to raise public awareness and promote the further protection for process servers. The petition already has over 1,000 signatures.
“An assault on anyone should be a felony! A process server who is serving court papers is representing a court of law,” writes Keith Burch from Westby, Wisconsin. Many signers have shared similar views when commenting on why they signed the petition. Jerry Phillips from Edinboro, Pennsylvania writes, “Process servers are officers of the court. We have every legal right to serve individuals and companies. We should be treated the same as a constable or law enforcement officer.”
“The goal of this petition was to raise awareness about this important issue. This petition is doing just that,”
