Yes, the officer may search.
Police may search a building if they reasonably believe a valid search warrant has been issued. They do not have to possess the search warrant.

In Texas can police enter a residence with misdemeanor arrest warrant when they are denied admission?
Police with an arrest warrant can enter the home of the person named in the warrant if they have reasonable grounds to believe he is on the premises. They can search the premises in any place the accused person would be able to hide (they couldn't for example, look in the drawers of a nightstand, because no one could hide there). Police have to get a search warrant to enter the house of a person other than the one named in the arrest warrant.
Do I have any redress for my premises have been forced into whilst at work no details on a warrant have been produced and my property has been damaged?
Not enough information is disclosed in the question. WHO forced entrance to your premises? The police? Burglars? You mention a warrant but you do not say for WHO or WHAT the warrant was issued. [IF the police] Go to your police station and request or demand to see a copy of the warrant. They MUST show it to you (EXCEPTION: if it was issued "under seal") and if it is the police who allegedly damaged your property you may institute suit against the agency which carried out the warrant. [IF burglars] On the other hand - if your premises was entered and damaged by burglars..., just because the police have been unable to solve the crime, issue a warrant, or get you restitution from the perpetrator, you have no special claim on anyone (or the government) to fix your damaged property for you.
Police come to your home looking for your son do you have to produce your son?
If the police at the door have a valid arrest warrant, then you must produce the son or face obstruction (or whatever they call it in you jurisdiction) charges yourself. If the police at the door do not have a valid arrest warrant, you do not have to produce your son. In the case that the police have a valid search warrant for your premises, you can't deny them access without facing obstruction charges. If they search, they will probably find you son.
If the search warrant is for your home can the police search your garage?
If the garage is attached to the home, yes they can search the entire premises.
Can police search someones property who is not on the search warrant?
Search warrants are customarily issued identifying the PREMISES or LOCATION or ADDRESS to be searched, and do not usually name specific individuals. If you happen to be on those premises at the time the warrant is executed you and your property can, and will, be searched.

Actually the police don't necessarily have to show the warrant to anybody. In fact, to execute a search warrant it isn't even necessary for a resident or occupant of the premises to be present.

What is a blanket warrant that does not indicate what the police might be searching for or where to specifically search?
A Blanket Warrant is a warrant that allows police to search multiple places for evidence without saying exactly what they are looking for. This comes from a judge usually on Murder or Drug charge cases. More information is necessary in order to answer. I have never heard of a "blanket" warrant or any warrant that does not specifically state what is being searched for. As far as a specific location where a search may be conducted - as long as the warrant describes the premises to be searched (street address - name of business - lot & plot number - etc) there is no requirement that it state SPECIFICALLY WHERE within the premises may or may not be searched.
Can police apply for a special warrant that allows them to enter any premises?
In a multi-unit building or premises, perhaps. But a blanket warrant to enter ANY premises at ANY time - no. Of course, this discounts the possibility of Martial Law being declared. If that occurs, then all civil law restrictions become null and void.
How can you see the Search Warrant?
The police must give a copy of the search warrant to the person in charge of the premises at the time the search is conducted. The police must also leave a "return" of the warrant, listing any items seized in the search.Additional: The above information may be a requirement in the contributors own jurisdiction. In others, it is NOT necessary to show or give a copy of the warrant to the individual in charge of the premises, (if any are even present). Mere knowledge of the existence of a valid warrant is sufficient enough to execute it.
