Subject: Topic: Objectives: To Be Able To Understand and Conceptualized Raid in Investigation
Hi! The last topic is all about what do Raid means after conducting
with Custodial Investigation.
Raid Operation
Every member of a law enforcement organization must know the technique of
conducting a raid. Raid is usually made after careful investigation and when other method of
accomplishing the mission is not suitable. Whenever available, men experienced in conducting
police raids should be chosen as raid commanders.
What is Raid – Raid is a surprise invasion of a building or area. It is a small-scale attack of a
limit territory. A raid must be legal having its basis unlawful process and conducted in a legal
manner through search warrant or warrant of arrest. Raid may be in pursuit of a person
reasonably believed to be guilty of a felony when it is known that the felony has been
committed.
Purpose of Raid: According to Roxas (2008), the following are the objectives of Raid:
1. To effect apprehension
2. To obtain evidence of Illegal Activity by surprising the offenders in in flagrante delicto
3. To recover stolen Property.
Effectiveness of Raid
The effectiveness of Raid depends on the Following:
1. Size of Raiding party
2. Surprise
3. Speed
4. Superiority of arms
5. Simplicity of Plan and Operation
Raid Operation
Coordination of individual efforts is an essential element in the success of the raid. The
raiding party should act as a team. The members of the teams must thoroughly understand the
objectives, the plan and the orders. Each man should hold his/her assigned position until his/her
position until his or her order are changed by the team leader. Before leaving the headquarters
to proceed to the target, the team leader must conduct final briefing to his/her entire personnel
(Roxas, 2008).
Coordination with the Local Station Commander
It is impressive that immediately before the service of a search warrant the team leader
should see to it that proper coordination is made with the station commander having jurisdiction
over the target premises. The coordinating party is bound merely to relay that their team is
conducting an operation in their area. This gesture of coordination is not only a manifestation of
courtesy but also a safety measure to avoid the possibility of a mistake encounter.
