Does there have to be a search warrant for a probation search?
If the probation officer is conducting the search then he must be there for it. Every state has its own procedures for conducting searches on their probation clients. Police generally cannot assist probation officers with their search, but probation officers can assist police with theirs. But police must still have a search warrant, while probation officers don't-- IF such search is allowed as part of the subject's condition of the probation. In practice, however, probation officers don't help police with their search because they can easily and unknowingly contaminate the evidence or crime scene. Probation officers' searches generally have a different purpose than police searches. If you're asking if the subject's probation officer must be there to conduct a search, then generally yes, they cannot substitute another probation officer for the subject's assigned PO.
Why would two police officers go with a probation officer to their home?
When a probation officer visits a house, sometimes he feels he might be in danger. Sometimes he is dealing with a person he feels is a dangerous criminal. Sometimes he wants backup. After all, good honest law abiding citizens are not on probation. Crooks, thieves, robbers, and murderers are on probation. Some of those people and their friends are dangerous. As a result, sometimes probation officers have police officers work with them.

Can your home be searched if the police are looking for a person with a warrant for probation violation?
If they have 'reasonable cause to believe' that the person named in the warrant is in the residence, they may enter and look JUST FOR HIM. They may not conduct a search for anything else BUT, if during the search they see/observe any conduct, or any items, of an unlawful nature IN PLAIN SIGHT they may take proper enforcement actions arising from those 'plain sight' observations. In your probation contract it says that they can search you or your residence at any time, they don't even need a warrent.

Can a probation officer drug test spouse not on probation?
Probation officers have different powers in each state. Here in Louisiana, felony probation officers are fully commissioned POST certified, gun toting police officers with full powers of any police officer. You can get into probable cause issues though. Not only is every state different, every judicial court system within the state seems to lean different ways in it's interpretation of the laws.Okay, to simplify this: yes, in some states POs are law enforcement officers. In all states they are representatives of the state and court officers. As such, any activites in which they engage with others who are not under their supervision falls under the Constitution. That is, without very specific probable cause or a warrant, they have no search or siesure authority over anyone.If confronted, say nothing, simply do not speak, and call an attorney.
