A husband is leaving his wife. They have been fighting. He wants to make sure there are no problems while he is moving his belongings out of the home. He can ask for a civil standby. The police come and "stand by" to make sure there are no problems. This is one example...but it should give you the idea.

A civil standby is a case in which a police officer will "stand by" in order to ensure that the law isn't broken. For example: if you are serving papers to appear in court on a neighbor who has a violent temper, you can request a civil standby from the police or sheriff to protect you during the process.
