I'm interested in the process of welfare visits/entries in the Troy jurisdiction. I had an experience here in So Cal that has left me concerned and curious. In my situation, I called our apartment manager out of concern for my elderly neighbor who lives alone, was post medical surgery, and was not answering the door or phone for a week. I was told he could not legally enter without the police present. So I called police and was told that they could not authorize an entry without an external sign of a problem, such as a sign of forced entry or concerning sounds from within.
Luckily, my neighbor was fine, but the experience left me puzzled.
Can anyone else comment for the requirements in their area?
