The other side of the coin

There is no legal path available to you to come to the aid of your father without endangering the careers of the officers who take the call. I wouldn't wait for the police to open the door if I were you

Unwarranted sarcasm aside that is good advice. A POLICE OFFICER CANNOT ENTER YOUR HOME WITHOUT A WARRANT OR YOUR PERMISSION.

The legal path is busting a window or kicking the door in because you have at least implied consent to enter the residence. THE COPPER DOESN'T
 
Believe it or not there are lots and lots of doors that can't be kicked in. Thats why you see cops and swat ninjas using power rams and explosive entries. Try a good strong metal door and a metal frame someday. Its not that simple.

With no indication of a crime or legit emergency, I am not kicking in your door.
