police raids
Coordinated law enforcement operations
Police raids are sudden, forceful entries by law enforcement into buildings or locations to search for evidence, make arrests, or seize contraband.
Raids typically involve multiple officers and happen with little or no warning: The police raid on the warehouse uncovered stolen goods.
The term often implies an element of tactical surprise and can suggest aggressive or militarized policing: Immigration raids swept through the neighborhood at dawn.
