In addition to the requirements for the execution of a search warrant described in NRS 179.075 and 179.077, if the search warrant is a no-knock warrant, the peace officers involved in the execution of the no-knock warrant shall:

1. Before executing the no-knock warrant, determine whether the circumstances necessitate that the search be effectuated in the manner prescribed by the no-knock warrant and, if they do not, the peace officers shall not effectuate the search in such a manner; and

2. In executing the no-knock warrant:

(a) Wear prominent insignia that renders the peace officers readily identifiable as peace officers;

(b) Wear a portable event recording device in accordance with the requirements described in NRS 289.830;

(c) Use only the amount of force reasonably necessary to enter the premises; and

(d) As soon as practicable after entering the premises, identify the presence of the peace officers and state the purpose of the peace officers for entering the premises.
