Because police agencies each have their own policies, there is no specific law that covers all police officers in the state of Illinois. The general rule seems to be that a female is as able to use a concealed weapon against an officer as a male and, even if a female officer is not available, the female suspect must be searched. A male officer searching a female suspect should have a witness to the search.

Any officer is to search the person before putting them in the police car for safety reasons. a male officer can search a female and a female officer is allowed to search a male, no matter what.
