This is just a curiosity question for the LEO’s although anyone can join in the fun.
The idea of ‘dynamic entry’ is to catch the people off-guard. Basically swoop in before they can react. Say you ran into a hardened situation where you are unable to penetrate the upstairs for a period of time. In my case it will take a Sawzall, torch, hydraulic devices, or explosives. Anything can be breached but it takes time. By the time it is done I will be well aware of the situation. Few street criminals are going to stick around after a tour of “Freddy’s Fun House” much less try to get through the upstairs barrier. It would be a certainty that it is LE that has made the entry. This would eliminate the use of force on my part. In point of fact it eliminates the use of force period. Since bad guys can’t get to the family I’ll just call the cops and let them handle it.
What would the cops do when I walk down the stairs? At this point the surprise element is gone. Would I end up on the floor in cuffs or would I be taken outside while a normal search is conducted? This is simply a theoretical question since it is VERY unlikely to happen.
