What is the correct answer to people you can't see yelling "Police! Open up!"?

Stay quiet and call the police, inquire whether police really was dispatched to your door. If the person behind the closed door is legitimate, ask for an identification and a warrant. Otherwise, ask them to help you out with an intruder.

Be quiet and don't open the door? (Then quietly call the police.)

That won't get you in shit if it really is police officers who do have reasonable suspicion you've done something wrong?

If you don't answer, they won't know you're home. I guess if they know you're at home, you can ask for ID/warrant (but I don't know how you could view it without opening the door...unless you have one of those open-just-a-crack locks on the door).

Do any studies control for older adults impatience with sitting through academic BS?
