I would guess they would have non vampires to execute the warrant and once they are inside, they could then invite the vampire in.
Wait, can anyone invite them in? Not just the people living there?
In all the examples listed in the response, the inviter must explicitly be the owner of the house:

Although that just leaves us with the question about who is considered the owner. I'm a renter, so would that be me, or my landlord?
Fun fact: In German, this boils down to which translation of "owner" is used. I'm the "Besitzer" of my apartment (I possess it), but not the "Eigentümer" (I cannot sell it).
I think "occupant" or "resident" are both better choices over "owner" for how this conceptually works.
If a family live in the house, then a child of the family could certainly invite a vampire in, despite the child not being the "owner".
What about the child’s friend who is visiting for a sleepover?
No, they must live there.
I'd argue no, because they are not a resident. They are only a visitor.
Occupant in a housing sense is pretty synonymous with Resident legally, but in a wider sense can also mean "anyone there at the time" - especially in non-housing contexts (e.g. the occupants of a vehicle). So for the sake of eliminating all ambiguity I'd strike out Occupant, and stick with Resident as the most appropriate term.
Seems unlikely, or all vampires are just dumb. Just hypnotise a burglar and have them invite you in
