Motion detector-triggered lights around your house, including under-eaves lighting. Tie it into an alarm inside the house; not a siren, just an alert that someone is outside. Maybe add in cameras that begin recording once the lights go on.
Half the reason these idiots get away with this kind of thing is that they’re able to get into the house before anyone is ready. I realize that such is their intent, but they can’t avoid everything. Get them lit up and exposed, IOW completely remove the element of surprise, and they will have a harder time following the rest of the scenario.
Dumb cops. If that happened to a family member I’d track them down later. I have motion-triggered security lights, and video cameras with sound. So my wife would know if they announced a warning or not. Just hope she would be able to hide the camera hard drive so the cops don’t steal it. The lights come on just about every night, mostly racoons and skunks but they might catch killer cops someday.
Been there, done that. If the property is wooded at all your house will be blinking on and off like a marquee all night if there’s the slightest breeze. Same with any wildlife crossing the yard, and they do.
No trees or large bushes, and fence the entire property. Then it might work. Otherwise, it’s impossibly annoying, for both you and your neighbors.

Maybe turn on the lawn sprinklers too.
Works well for door to door salesmen who can’t read.
