The format of a search warrant is usually set by the court. In California it became a statewide thing. The front page is the actual warrant. It is a fill -in-the-blanks thing and may be available as a printed form or on the department report writing system as a Word template. The affidavit, which spells out the probable cause, may or may not be available as a template with headers and footers, or may just be a typed narrative. Then there is a statement of the officeru2019s training and experience (hero sheet) which shows why he or she is competent to investigate that crime, reach their conclusions and know what must be searched for and seized.
