Which step is NOT part of making a forced entry?

Demand entrance
Identify yourself as law enforcement
Request a lawyer be present
Explain the purpose of entry

The correct answer is: Request a lawyer be present

In the context of making a forced entry, the process typically involves specific steps that ensure law enforcement officials act within legal boundaries and protocols. The steps to making a forced entry generally include identifying themselves as law enforcement, explaining the purpose for the entry, and making a demand for entrance to establish the authority and legitimacy of their actions. Requesting a lawyer to be present, however, is not a step that law enforcement would typically undertake during a forced entry situation. This step is more aligned with a person's rights while under investigation or during questioning rather than a procedural step for officers executing an entry. In fact, the presence of a lawyer during a forced entry could hinder the operation, as the entry is often made to secure evidence or apprehend individuals in connection with a crime. Therefore, the correct choice highlights a response that is not aligned with the operational procedures for forced entry by law enforcement.
