In Hutchisons Search Warrant Manual Checklist, 2020 Edition, the author provides a series of checklists related to the process of reviewing or preparing a warrant application.

While no checklist can itemize every step in the process of either reviewing or preparing a warrant application, these checklists seek to identify the principal areas for consideration by warrant writers and those who determine whether the warrant should be issued.

These checklists are intended as a handier reference and memory aid.

The checklists are set out under the following headings:

• General checklists
• Specific warrant checklists
• Special procedural steps
• Statutory warrantless search powers

Some of the checklists included in this series are:

• General checklist for judicial officers
• General checklist for warrant applicants
• Specific warrant checklists under such as Conventional Search Warrant under section 487, Feeney warrant, and Controlled Drugs and Substances Act warrants
• Special procedural steps such as Assistance Orders under section 487.02 and Sealing Orders under section 487.3
• Statutory Warrantless Search Powers such as Exigent Circumstances (section 487.11), Exigent Public Safety Seizure of Weapons (section 117.04(2)), and Exigent Drug Searches (Controlled Drugs and Substances Act)
