New York Laws
Title 3 - Enforcement
77-J - Warrant to Take Physical Custody of Child.

(a) recite the facts upon which a conclusion of imminent serious
physical harm or removal from the jurisdiction is based;
(b) direct law enforcement officers to take physical custody of the
child immediately and deliver the child to the petitioner or, where
necessary, to act jointly with the local child protective service to
take immediate steps to protect the child; and
(c) provide for the placement of the child pending final relief.
4. The respondent must be served with the petition, warrant, and order
immediately after the child is taken into physical custody.
5. A warrant to take physical custody of a child is enforceable
throughout this state. If the court finds on the basis of the testimony
of the petitioner or other witness that a less intrusive remedy is not
effective, it may authorize law enforcement officers to enter private
property in order to execute the warrant and take physical custody of
the child. If required by exigent circumstances of the case and
necessary to the protection of the child, the court may authorize law
enforcement officers to make a forcible entry at any hour.
6. The court may impose conditions upon placement of a child to ensure
the appearance of the child and the child's custodian.
