A personal protection order can be dropped by the person who issued it, or your fiance can file a motion to terminate the protection order. The Judge more than likely issued the order based upon based upon the information found in the police report. Criminal charges are somewhat different because these charges can be dismissed at the discretion of the prosecutor if you chose not to go forward with the charges.
