(a) A juvenile parole officer may conduct a search of a juvenile parolee's residence when:

3. Shall not search any area that is exclusively under the control of the other person(s), unless that person(s) provides written voluntary consent to the search.

(c) A juvenile parole officer shall not enter the home of a third party to search for a juvenile parolee without having a search warrant unless:

1. The juvenile parole officer has reasonable suspicion that the juvenile parolee named in the parole warrant is in the home of the third party at that time; and
