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.
The procedure of a male officer searching a female suspect is discouraged and avoided when possible. However, legally, a male officer may frisk, pat down, or otherwise search a female suspect under any circumstance, period. Any regulation that specifies otherwise is set by local ordinance or department policy.
A cop can pat down anyone regardless of their sex or age as long as the reason for the search is consistent with case law. For the most part a police officer will attempt to have someone of same sex perform the search if possible, but if there is a belief that the suspect is concealing a weapon, the pat-down is immediate and the officer will not wait for a same sex partner.
In some states yes and vice versa.

In the absence of a female officer, and to ensure his own safety, he may 'frisk' via an outer clothing pat-down (not underneath clothing - unles he discovers something in the pat-down) and definitely not a strip, or body cavity search. Further, he may restrain her hands in such a way that she poses no threat of injury or bodily harm to him in the event she should have a weapon concealed somewhere on her body that he may not find.
Because the DNR officer very often works alone or can't get a female officer out for pat downs this can and does happen.It is discouraged but to protect himself when dealing with a suspect it is allowed.If this is for a DNR test refer to the actual policyAdded: DNR Officers, with VERY FEW exceptions are sworn law enforcement officers and under the Supreme Court ruling in Terry v. Ohio, are allowed to take precautions to protect themselves by performing an outer garment pat down (i.e.: "friisk") for weapons.
The correct way to write this is pat down. So your answer is two words.An example sentence is: This officer will give you a pat down to see if you have drugs on you.
