According to our respondents, "warrant work" consists almost exclusively of what police call "no-knock entries." Generally a search warrant is obtained through either a police informant or a tip from a neighbor. After securing a warrant, the paramilitary unit conducts a "dynamic entry," generally on a private residence ... As one commander described these operations, "our unit storms the residence with a full display of weaponry so we can get the drugs before they're flushed." 1, record 1, English, - no%2Dknock%20entry

Selon nos répondants, l'«exécution de mandat» se compose presque exclusivement de ce que la police appelle une «opération de défonçage de portes». Généralement, on obtient un mandat de perquisition grâce à un informateur ou à un tuyau d'un voisin. Ensuite, l'unité paramilitaire exécute une «entrée dynamique», généralement dans une résidence privée. [...] Comme nous l'a expliqué un commandant : On fait irruption dans la résidence en pointant nos armes partout à la fois afin de pouvoir mettre la main sur la drogue avant qu'elle ne passe dans la toilette. 1, record 1, French, - op%C3%A9ration%20de%20d%C3%A9fon%C3%A7age%20de%20portes
