A storm is the penetration of police or military forces into an object (e.g. building, vehicles, facilities, positions) for the purpose of taking the same or of detaining the people staying there. Avoid unnecessary violence .

It is ideally planned or conducted and serves to pursue a goal (e.g. the implementation of a military order ). As a rule, fire protection is provided, at least the property is surrounded (external barrier). When accessing the property, the law enforcement officers choose a convenient time and exert as much pressure as possible on the police opposite (e.g. with CN gas or loud shouting).

A battering ram can be used to penetrate, or less resistant doors or windows can also be kicked in. Heavy abutments are blown up by forces of the special forces .
