Always record the badge number, and if he's there alone tell him that you want the contact number of his superior to verify him because you don't open the door for strangers. Also, I thought that plain clothes cops had to carry not only a badge buy a photo id. You have a right to ask for his police id.
if the person that they're looking for is a minor your mom has a right to ask what the cops interest is. Then tell him that she's not home and you'd be more then willing to drive her over to his office when she gets home, then request his contact information including direct line and which office he works out of.
If it was my sister, I would have contacted her where ever she is to tell her to get into a public area because your coming down to pick her up. If this guy was some creep and knew that she wasn't home, he might have gone looking for her.
