(a) Unless the party requesting an order of protection or temporary order of protection states on the record that he or she is making alternative arrangements for service or is delivering the order to the law enforcement agency directly, the Family Court may transmit the order of protection or temporary order of protection, together with any associated papers to be served simultaneously, to such agency by facsimile or other electronic means, as defined in subdivision (f) of rule 2103 of the Civil Practice Law and Rules, so that such agency may provide expedited service in accordance with subdivision (c) of section 153-b of the Family Court Act and subdivision (3-a) of section 240 of the Domestic Relations Law.
