A: By law, a copy of the search warrant and affidavit must be served by law enforcement either on the property owner or (if the owner is not present) on an adult occupant. If no one is present, then the documents are to be left in a conspicuous location at the property. Additionally, law enforcement officers are required to file a return (which includes the search warrant, the affidavit in support of the search warrant, as well as an inventory of what was recovered) in the Circuit Court clerk's office for the jurisdiction in which the search took place.
