Yes. Assuming everything else is valid about the warrant (and that's something your attorney should explore. There are many challenges to a search warrant), the police can serve a warrant if you're not there.

Search warrants normally allow the police to search places, not people. Such a warrant can be executed even when the occupants are away.
