<p>Contact the media relations officer at your local police department. Somebody there will be glad to help you out. Don't forget retired detectives.</p>

<p>J.E. is right: there will have to be more probably cause to kick in the door. Not onl will a search warrant be needed, a "no knock" warrant may be required, and those are hard to get.</p>
<p>If the forum doesn't have an answer, you might contact the Cleveland PD Public Affairs Office. Most major cities have an office that handles media requests, including those from fiction authors.

<p>If the forum doesn't have an answer, you might contact the Cleveland PD Public Affairs Office. Most major cities have an office that handles media requests, including those from fiction authors. You'd probably do better with them by narrowing and rephrasing your request. Something like, "What's required to get a search warrant in Ohio?" (Come to think of it, a Google search for "what's required to obtain a search warrant?" may work even better.)</p>
<p>If time is of the essence, they may have t0o invent a reason to go in, as exigent circumstances can allow police to enter. ("Do you smell gas?" Holy shit, there's a gas leak. I wonder if anyone is inside.") That's awfully transparent, but I took it off the top of my head. This kind of things may also allow you to build your character, as the reader sees which rules he's willing to bend, and how much.</p> Thanks JE I just posted i…tag:crimespace.ning.com,2014-10-05:537324:Comment:3975842014-10-05T14:35:08.688ZFrank Zubekhttps://crimespace.ning.com/profile/FrankZubek

<p>I am not a cop, but I have done a lot of research, and I'm thinking you need to have something going on in that apartment that would give sufficient cause for a no-knock entry. Other than the whole aura thing. Or, some crooks are so stupid that if he just knocks and asks to come in for some reason they might let him in.</p>
