I was mandated to attend a 52-week Batterer Intervention Program as part of a Domestic Violence Restraining Order (DVRO) settlement in Riverside County. I only have two weeks to enroll but I’m having trouble finding a class. What happens if I don’t enroll? Could I be arrested?
You can find a list of Riverside County probation-approved Batterer Intervention Programs on the Riverside County Probation website.
Consider asking for an extension due to limited availability. In the meantime, seek cognitive behavioral therapy to show the court you’re trying to help yourself.
Contact the court and explain your difficulties in finding a class. They might have options for you. It’s better to be proactive.

Arrested for not going to a class? I’ve never committed a crime in my life. This DVRO was issued for speaking about her on a podcast.
