Can the police open my car or home if I have locked my keys inside?

Because of the potential for damage to vehicles and homes, the police department does not open locked vehicles or doors. A locksmith is your best alternative. If a child or pet is locked inside a vehicle and a potential for injury exists, the Fire Department will be called to remove the child or pet from the vehicle.
