Can the police enter my apartment without a warrant?

Students' Legal Assistance Office of Northern Illinois Unive...
Only if you or someone else in the apartment with apparent authority give consent to the police entering the apartment, or if there are "exigent" (emergency) circumstances justifying the police entry. Exigent circumstances would include the police officer's having reasonable suspicion that a crime had been or is about to be committed in the premises, or that evidence of criminal conduct is likely to be destroyed during the time required for the police to obtain a warrant.

Are police officers allowed to enter my house without my permission or a warrant?

OSU Student Affairs : FAQs About Underage Drinking
Sometimes, yes, they may. Some of the reasons they are permitted to enter are: you are allowing anyone to enter (open house party), they have reasonable suspicion to believe a crime is being committed inside or that someone is in danger inside (such as passed out from alcohol or involved in a fight), or you invite them in (whether or not you know they are police). It depends on the circumstances. If they are in uniform, it's clear.

If police have a search warrant, do they have to show it to me?

Frequently Asked Questions | FlexYourRights.org
No. The Supreme Court has never ruled that police must present the warrant when performing a search. The purpose of the warrant is to establish legal authority to conduct the search and create a paper trail in case the search is challenged. Since executing a search warrant is considered a high-risk activity for police, officers are permitted to enter quickly and forcefully.
