JMHO, but I don't know how seriously you will be taken if you keep putting the cops off like this. I understand you want to protect your son, and that is admirable, but why can't you send him to his room to play for the duration of the phone call or the visit or whatever? Maybe others have a better understanding of how these things work, and will chip in their insights. But to me, if they're being responsive enough to your (valid) concerns to offer to send an officer, take them up on it.
