Violation of Restraining Order
If you have a restraining order, and this person is violating the order, your best approach may be to petition the court to hold him in contempt.
It is peculiar that the County Sheriff isn't helping. Have you made any inquiry with supervisory officers about why they won't enforce the court's order?

Actually, if they are not there within 5 minutes of your call, you can sue the county, city, and police department for enough money to leave the state and never have to work again, ever. There are lots of lawyers out there who would love to have a 35% cut in your winnings just for letting them have your case. Remind the police that the RO is in violation and you think he will kill you if they are not there within 5 minutes, someone will have to pay because your gonna sue and win millions of dollars basically bankrupting the county and city theirfor people will loose their jobs because there will be zero dollars in the budget for police. ok, ok, i believe there is a law called melonies law or something similar because the person violating the RO killed the person and the family won millions of dollars lobbied for a law stating the 5 minute rule. I believe most states have adopted this rule so consult an attorney and sue the city, county, police and this creep all at once all as the deffendants in civil court. Make them pay for not doing their job (or stalking) you.

What?!?!
In WHAT state does THIS happen? (My guess is: None.)
In my county the average response time is well beyond that 5 minutes due to sheer distance! If this were the standard, most police and sheriff's departments in CA would be in court each week.
Please cite some state law or case law that shows this to be the case anywhere.

I would enjoy this citing as well, if so I'll have to think of more reasons to call the police.
