Search Warrant Service Exercise

Search warrants are an integral part of any criminal case progression. When executed properly and with respect for the Fourth Amendment rights of citizens that may be affected by the warrant, search warrants can make or break one’s case.

Submitting Search Warrant

A search warrant is one of the most effective tools that an investigator can use to advance his or her case. It is also a very invasive action, as the law enforcement officer participating in the execution of the search warrant will be searching the private property of another citizen.

Successful search warrants

Executing search warrants requires strict adherence to the Fourth Amendment. Proper evidence management, documentation, and best practices ensure cases withstand scrutiny, protecting both citizens’ rights and integrity of law enforcement agencies.
