If they have Probable Cause they can enter without a warrant, for instance, Residents are either wanted felons or harboring a felon, or if a Crime is about to or in the process of being committed. Even a Check Welfare Call can be means to warrantless entry if the circumstance are right. There are more of course but those are the common ones. What people get confused about is entry into the premises versus search of the premises which are two separate issues all together.
