If a suspect is not already in custody, the officer can submit a warrant through the MDT. This needs to be done within 24 hours after the crime happened.
Note, that CID investigations are not limited to the 24-hour rule for warrant requests.
Your warrant should include the following:
Suspect
Charges
Summary of the evidence proving the crime and identification of the suspect.
If additional evidence is needed and the person is not willing to let CID search their property, CID will submit a search warrant request. The warrant will include:
Location to be searched
Property owner
Scope of the search - What you expect to find and why you expect to find it (Evidence).
