Unless there is some specific prohibition in your area, yes. In fact the idea that a male searches a male and a female searches a female is normally policy, not regulation. A small department may not have an officer of the 'correct' sex available when a search needs to be done, so whoever is available can perform the searches.

∙ 9y agoin the US a recent ruling in the courts has allowed female prison officers to conduct a full strip search on male prisoners. here in the UK they are not allowed but there have been many complaints by prisoners of female officers being present when they were being stripsearched by male prison officers.
actually no a female officer is only allowed to stripsearch a female, and only a male officer is allowed to search a male.

∙ 6y agoYes, a male officer is allowed to search a female suspect. A male cop is allowed to search the female, but he is not allowed to strip search the female. The same rule applies with a female cop, she is allowed to search a male, but is not allowed to strip search him. They are being searched for weapons and or drugs before getting put in the police car.

∙ 12y agoIt's not necessarily unlawful for a strip search to be conducted by an officer of the opposite gender, but it's discouraged for obvious reasons. It would be permitted only under extreme and unusual conditions.

∙ 6y agoAny suspect may be searched by any officer.
In an ideal situation, the department would have an available female officer, who would be available for the search. When a female is available, the male officers should (and there may be a policy directing this) do a quick pat-down for weapons, and place the female in restraints. The female officer would then do a more thorough check.
However, when a female officer is not available, the suspect may be searched by the male officer.
If the female is uncomfortable with that, she shouldn't have given the police a reason to search her.
