You are talking about a particular type of warrant. I don't think the average local police force is getting FISA warrants for their day-to-day police work (maybe I'm wrong? I would like to see numbers on that before I change my mind though), and OP did not limit their statment to FISA warrants.

The news sources I've encountered seem to imply otherwise. The linked Washington Post article was an early hint at this, and built on original material from [0]. Now we have other sources backing this up, such as [1], and detailed breakdowns of this practice with lots of evidence as seen in [2]. Just search for the word "local" or "state" in [2] if you need the details.
