AboutJim Pastore Expertise I am a 23 yr veteran Police Officer in Ohio. I also am a past FOP Lodge President. I am well versed in Ohio laws both crminal and labor related, as well as Police contract neogations.
Experience I have been assigned to the vice unit, the tactical response team and am currently a certified crime scene investigator and a certified Police Instructor. I am curently retired on disability after being injured in the line of duty. I retired on August 23, 2000 after 23 years as a Police Officer. I am now living in the Ft Myers Florida area..
I am writing a story and it deals with two foreigners who sneak into the US. The US government suspects that these foreigners are hostile and are possibly a threat to national safety. I am writing the scene where the FEDs try to arrest them by breaking into their hotel room (never mind how they got a hotel room). First of all, how would they go about this. Second, what exactly would they say when they were at the door of the hotel room. Or, would they simply kick it in, arrest the foreigners, and talk later? I have heard that law enforcement officials are always required to make their presence known before the arrest, even in a covert op.
Thanks,
Tyler
Answer Tyler,
First I can't speak for how the FBI or any other federal agency does things. If it were I I would knock and ID myself to the people in the room and at the same time be sure to have adaquate people ie. a sawt team there. Then knock down the door and if needed use a destraction device. Hope this helped somewhat it's the best answer I could give with the info I have.
