Best Answer

Actually, unsworn officers do not search homes. Crime scene technicians, who may not actually be sworn officers, take photographs and collect evidence that were found by the detectives or police officers.

Added: If the question is referring to Probation/Parole Officers, you will find that in most (all?) states they ARE sworn officers and they do have the authority to make unannounced visits to their "client's" residences to ensure that they are adhering to the provisions of their release.
