At 2 am the cops came to our door and said that they had received a 911 call from our home. Any thoughts on that?
This is what our local law enforcement advised during the serial rapist time (I was in my late teens/early 20’s and had a job that I drove home after midnight). If you doubt the person is law enforcement (usually a car without county or state markings), request that a uniformed officer in a marked car be dispatched to your location. Any plain clothed officer will request from their dispatch that a uniformed officer be sent. As for your situation, NO clue. Our 911 center can receive hang ups (defined that someone in the house called 911 but hung up at some point during the call). Little kids (especially when learning all about 911) may use the phone to “practice” and hang up. The police will respond to a 911 hang up in case something was occurring (a true medical or law enforcement call) and you had to/forced to hang up. I am not sure if all locations have the 911 center/location of home technology.
That’s odd. Did they say it was a completed call (the caller made verbal contact with the 911 operator) or a hang-up call?
Most municipalities require police to check a home that has a 911 hang-up call.
If you’re suspicious and don’t mind rubbing their fur the wrong way, you can request a copy of the call log to see if they actually did receive a 911 call from your number.
Check the time stamp. See if a call could have come from someone in your area and that they got the address wrong.
If there was no call and no mistaken address, you may want to ask the chief what is going on.
Because, you know, the cops shouldn’t be allowed to lie about a 911 call just to take a peak inside someone’s home.
Not to mention the danger element for anyone knocking on a door at 2:00 a.m.

Burglar alarm glitch?
