are calling for more police action to support victims of domestic violence after the shooting death of a Coquitlam woman who had a protection order against her ex-husband. "The only way that the protection order matters is if police enforce it," she said. "Coquitlam RCMP takes all protection orders seriously and complaints regarding the violation of those orders are investigated," an RCMP spokesperson wrote in an email. At both locations, a banner reading, "She had a protection order; He killed her anyway" was hung. "What we commonly see … is that women are really having to fight not only to get a protection order but also to enforce the protection orders that some women are granted," Grey said.
