§ 2933.24.
(A) A search warrant shall be directed to the proper law enforcement officer or other
authorized individual and, by a copy of the affidavit inserted in it or annexed and
referred to in it, shall show or recite all the material facts alleged in the affidavit,
and particularly name or describe the property to be searched for and seized, the
place to be searched, and the person to be searched. If a waiver of the statutory precondition for nonconsensual entry, as defined in division (A) of section 2933.231 of the Revised Code , has been granted pursuant to that section, the warrant also shall contain a provision
as described in division (C) of that section. The warrant shall command the officer or individual to search the place or person
named or described for the property, and to bring them, together with the person,
before the judge or magistrate. The command of the warrant shall be that the search be made in the daytime, unless
there is urgent necessity for a search in the night, in which case a search in the
night may be ordered. The warrant shall be returned promptly by the officer or individual holding it. It shall designate the judge or magistrate to whom it shall be returned, if such
judge or magistrate is available. (B) When a search warrant commands a proper law enforcement officer or other authorized
individual to inspect physical conditions relating to public health, safety, or welfare,
such officer or individual, upon completion of the search, shall complete a report
of the conditions and file a copy of such report with the officer's or individual's
agency headquarters.
