I'm guessing there won't be much in the property - my experience with foreclosures is that they have been cleaned out - but I've never purchased in CT.Check out this document, almost the very first paragraph says, "Duties of finder: “Any person who finds and takes possession of any article of the value of one dollar or more shall report the finding of such article to the police department of the municipality in which he finds such article within forty-eight hours from the time of such finding.

Unless there is Violence, the Police in Tampa will not even take a Report for Vandalism and will tell you that it is a Civil Case if you have a witness and the damages or loss is over $300.

Neighborhoods, school ratings, police reports ect are all factors when investing in rental property!

That's the sound of the fraud police - lol.  

The city I work for as a Police Officer doesn't like what they call "part time cops" and frowns upon us having second jobs or businesses.

Would I just simply knock on the door and ask them to leave or pay rent, or should I bring the police to forcibly remove from the property?

Just speculating...Police do rent from us, it does nothing except get you calls from people who don't like police; We once had a call from a few people saying a cop was running around in only his underwear, shooting his gun off at night.

It is a mixed feeling for me, the deport will open up more opportunities as it will weed out unlicensed contractors, but most of police dept and sherrif dept has expressed their stand on deportation, basically saying they won't be participating in the deportation mandate be pres elect, and that only with those doing serious time will be reported to ICE.

Private Property Rights are a joke to the Police.

Certainly a letter from the police department warning a previous landlord of their illegal activity and threatening to close the property is considered sufficient evidence.14.
