It has been requested by a council member that a version of Breonna’s law or a ban on the police departments use of no knock warrants be placed on the city council agenda for consideration. Has anyone else had this come up? Thanks in advance, Sommer Robbins Srobbins@altusok.gov Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef>

I don't know how a City could do so by warrant. No knock warrants are authorized by State law, and I don't think you could criminalize the use of those warrants (properly executed by a Judge) when executed by other agencies within your City limits. I don't know that you could criminalize your own Officers executing such warrants (since, again, authorized by State law and they would be serving State, not City, warrants). At best maybe you could address it via the PD policies on when your policies would authorize Officers to use them. I'd have to think about that - if a District Judge issues a no knock warrant directed at your officers, could the PD policies tell them not to comply with the warrant? Perhaps, since the default is knock and announce and the proper endorsement merely authorizes the no knock entry but arguably does not compel it. But I'm just not sure it's a City issue.
