He is accused of killing Capt Bryon Dickson outside a barracks, and critically wounded another officer.
"We have now made the world where he could hide a very, very small place," said FBI special agent Edward Hanko.
Pennsylvania police and federal officers were focusing on the area around Mr Frein's parents' home, searching hunting cabins, campsites and other temporary shelters in the Pocono mountains.

Schools in the area were closed again on Friday as the search continued.
Mr Frein has been added to the FBI's 10 Most Wanted List and $175,000 (£107,000) has been offered for information leading to his capture.
