The police would almost certainly seek a warrant to get cell phone records, location records, and even access to the suspect’s phone if they can show probable cause.

But as I noted in another comment, a warrant involves judicial oversight.

Why are you talking about suspects? The linked guidance has nothing to do with suspects. It is the victims phones the police want to see.

The police will already have access to the suspect's phone.
