Law enforcement document templates and resources

Placeholder page summary until documents are added.

How to use these templates

 

  1. Start with a new template

    Start each search warrant from a new template from this site. This ensures you’re using the most up-to-date template, as they are updated regularly.

  2. Review the template footer

    • For all law enforcement within King County, DO NOT change the footer.
    • For agencies outside of King County, update the footer to accurately reflect your organization’s contact information.
  3. Prosecutorial review

    For all King County cases, we encourage law enforcement to seek prosecutorial review of every warrant beyond the most basic. Especially for warrants you are unfamiliar with, or have questions/concerns about.

These templates are routinely updated by the Special Operations Unit.
