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.

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.
