An active home invasion was a code 3 call, all day every day. Lights and sirens, all available units, the whole schmear. That was also the case when a house had been broken into and the homeowner hadn't confirmed whether or not the burglar was still present. Either of those drew an immediate response.

I recall a home invasion that happened during a little girl's birthday party. The family was gathered and having a good time when three masked guys busted in the door toting shotguns and handguns. Everyone stared at each other in silence for a minute, then one of the masked guys muttered, "Wrong house" and they all fucked off. Bad guys were long gone by the time the family called 911 and officers got there, unfortunately.
