There was at least one more person in the house when the police arrived and they let the police in.
Even though the police seem to have been aware that the assailant had entered through another door they only went to the front door and rang the bell to gain entry.
Surely the police knew that this was the home of the Speaker of the House and her husband yet they act as if the 911 dispatcher did something special.
The police claim they sprang into action, but not really though.
PaulPelsoi excused himself from the intruder(!) and used a bathroom in which his cell phone was charging and called the police from there but didn't lock the door and went back into the house where the intruder was.

David DePape forced his way into the home through a back entrance, Scott said. Officers arrived at the house, knocked on the front door and were let inside by an unknown person.

Scott also thanked the responding emergency dispatcher Heather Grives for recognizing something was wrong when Paul Pelosi dialed 911, allowing police to spring into action.
“What he said, she felt there was something more to it,” Scott said.
POLITICO reported earlier Friday that Pelosi had been able to dial 911 after telling the intruder he had to use the restroom and then called from inside, where his phone had been charging.
