When searching and detained personnel who on the search team is postioed on the opposite side of the detainee from the searcher?

In a search operation involving detained personnel, a member of the team known as the "cover officer" is typically positioned on the opposite side of the detainee from the searcher. This ensures that the detainee is monitored and secured while the searcher conducts the search safely and effectively. The cover officer's role is to maintain control and prevent any potential escape or aggressive actions from the detainee during the search. This arrangement enhances safety for both the detainee and the personnel involved.
