Reply #21: ID first, then confirm, then open door [View All]

If they bust in they bust in, but there have been a rash of home invasions with people posing as impostors lately in our area. What if that had been a ruse with fake uniforms, etc?

She should have asked for badges, then asked if she can call ID in, or better YET, she should have called 911 and stated you had uniform officers at your door and were not sure if they were legitimate if they would not do that...this could have been straightened out.

As a woman, home alone or not, I would not have opened the door. I would have dialed 911.

Most 911 operators would have called the house back ASAP if they got a 911 hang up, even if it was from a cell phone...That is SOP....something fishy here.
