(1) This section applies if a discharge officer named in a warrant issued
under this part for a place is intending to enter the place under the warrant.
(2) Before entering the place, the discharge officer must do or make a
reasonable attempt to do the following things—
(a) identify himself or
herself to a person present at the place who is an occupier of the place by
producing a copy of the discharge officer’s identity card or other document
evidencing the officer’s appointment;
(c) tell the person the discharge officer is permitted by the
warrant to enter the place;
(d) give the person an opportunity to allow the
discharge officer immediate entry to the place without using force.
(3)
However, the discharge officer need not comply with subsection (2) if the
officer believes on reasonable grounds that immediate entry to the place is
required to ensure the effective execution of the warrant is not frustrated.
