In those Special Weapons Team, barricaded-suspect response situations carried out at the request of an independent agency, the first Sheriff's Department supervisor to make contact shall advise the requesting agency, via telephone, to commence the seeking of an appropriate warrant or signed consent as described in section 5-06/110.80.

The requesting agency shall also be advised that the appropriate Ramey, arrest, and/or search warrant shall be actively pursued or that a clear, unequivocal, signed Entry and Search Waiver by a competent adult shall be obtained.

Additionally, the requesting agency shall also be advised that all of the other requirements described in section 5-06/110.80 shall apply to any operation by SWT members carried out at the request of an outside agency.

The responsibility to assure that these requirements are met rests with the designated Sheriff's Department Incident Commander who responds to the scene of the operation, irrespective of the jurisdiction where the incident is occurring.
