Remember 19-year-old Nalisha Gravely?
She was gunned down by her boyfriend, Desmond Clark in the back of a Taco Bell a year ago.
What about 31-year-old Brian Good?
The night both he and Charleston Police officer Jerry Jones were killed, Good led police on a chase after hitting a car where his girlfriend was with another man.
Those are two cases of domestic violence that ended in tragedy.
A new registry is helping law enforcement change that by giving them access to domestic violence protection orders right at their fingertips.

1st Lt. Michael Corsaro, WV State Police, "That registry has helped them make decisions about what they need to do to diffuse a situation."

In the case of Nalisha Gravely, the registry really could have saved her life because when Clark was pulled over hours before the shooting.
Police would have seen her in the car with him; the D.S.P.. Gravely had against Clark would have landed him in jail.
There is no limit based on borders.

1st Lt. Michael Corsaro, "These protection orders in West Virginia are available nation wide."

For their hard work on setting up the registry, the West Virginia Supreme Court received one of US Attorney's Law Enforcement and Victim Assistance Awards.

Justice Robin Jean Davis, WV Supreme Court, "We have come a long way, we've not where we should be, but because of the efforts of all these groups we are making progress."

Kanawha and Greenbrier counties are the last two counties not on line, but they will be by next week.
