a female officer would have to be called to the scene to search them completely but until then a male officer can pat them down to make sure they dont have any weapons until a female arrives.Added: The correct procedure for officer safety (which admittedly COULD be different from agency to agency) would be to do an outer clothing pat down and then restrain the female with handcuiffs behind her back until the arrival of a female officer.

What are the laws on male police officers searching females in the state of Washington?
None at all. Generally department policy will state that it is preferred that an officer of the same sex conduct any physical search, but it is impossible to require. If there is no female officer available when a male officer arrests a female, the officer will still be required to search the suspect. It is 100% an officer safety issue and entirely non-discretionary.

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.
What are the laws on male police officers searching females in the state of Illinois?
Because police agencies each have their own policies, there is no specific law that covers all police officers in the state of Illinois. The general rule seems to be that a female is as able to use a concealed weapon against an officer as a male and, even if a female officer is not available, the female suspect must be searched. A male officer searching a female suspect should have a witness to the search. Any officer is to search the person before putting them in the police car for safety reasons. a male officer can search a female and a female officer is allowed to search a male, no matter what.
