General Principles

Voir également: Execution of Search Warrants

At common law, police must comply with the knock-and-announce rule.

Search Warrant

Generally, in executing a search warrant of a person's home, the police must:[1]

  1. notice of presence by a knock on the door or ring of the doorbell,
  2. announce their authority by identifying themselves as law enforcement and
  3. announce the purpose by stating the reasons for law entry.

This is known as the knock-and-announce rule.

If, after doing those three steps, only then can police force entry.[2]

Arrest Warrant
Voir également: Entry into Place to Execute an Arrest Warrant

When executing an arrest warrant for someone in a residence, the police may enter under the "knock and announce" doctrine without a residential search warrant.[3]

Waiting After Announcement Before Forced Entry

Once the announcement has been made the police must give the potential occupants a reasonable amount of time to answer the door.[4]

Where announcement has been made and the police receive no answer, they are entitled under the knock-and-announce rule to enter the home by force (a so-called "knock-and-break-in-the-door-if-no-answer" rule). [5]

Purpose of Rule

The purpose of this rule is to protect "the dignity and privacy interests of the occupants of the house, and the enhancement of the safety of the police and the public."[6]

Warrant Available to Occupants

An officer executing a search warrant must have the warrant available for production to allow the occupant to know (1) the reason for the search, informing them of their legal position and (2) that there is a "colour of authority for the police to enter.[7]

Departure from "Knock and Announce" Rule

The burden is upon the police to prove on a balance of probabilities that the departure from the knock-and-announce rule was justified.[1]

Departure from the rule requires "exigent circumstances", which include prevention of the "destruction of evidence", ensuring safety of police or occupants, or a matter of "hot pursuit."[2]

Police may enter a residence with a search warrant and not follow the common law rule where they have grounds to believe that announcing may result in evidence being destroyed or resistance may be made where officers will be put at risk. [3] This has been approved in circumstances involving investigation for child pornography.[4]

It is not specifically required but it is a recommended practice that the use of a no-knock entry should be specified in the ITO filed with the authorizing justice.[5]

Section 14 NCA Search

There is suggestion that the knock-and-announce rule does not apply to a search authorized under the NCA.[6]

Hard Entry

A hard entry (or dynamic entry) is an entry into a house without following the "knock-and-announce" common law rule. The use of "hard entries" does not require judicial approval, but including it in the ITO would go contribute to the validity of the warrant.[7]
