Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.
I spent more than ten years in law enforcement, all of it on the street in uniform patrol. I've been a patrol officer, instructor, sergeant and lieutenant.
Do not report crimes here. Nothing here should be considered legal advice. All opinions are my own.
In my state, the crimes you have described could result in multiple years in prison plus fines and resitution. I do not know the laws of your country, but I'm sure it is equally serious. I strongly suggest contacting a criminal defense attorney.

If the officer is acting as a police officer and provided his or her name (Officer Smith or whatever) and that the department he or she works for, that may be all of the information he or she is obligated to provide. A specific zone, precinct, or other information may not be required.
If the officer is acting as an employee of the property owner, and not as a representative of the city/county/whatever, he or she may not even need to provide that.
Share Answer: 
It depends on the size of the department. For any agency of more than about 15-20 officers, the chief is not likely to be involved in any case other than as a spokesperson in a high-profile incident.
For small agencies, a chief may patrol and handle calls like the rest of the officers. There are many departments in the US where there are fewer than five officers. In those areas, the chief handles a lot of the calls and investigations.

Depends on the state. Sounds like you should get one.

How much protection do those bomb disposal suits really provide?
I'm not familiar with Colorado law in that respect. If you call the local Sheriff's Department, they should be able to tell you.

If you feel you have been improperly searched by officers, you can contact their agency and file a complaint.
Share Answer: 
In a nutshell, the injured intruders would be transported to the hospital under police guard. When released, they would be arrested and transported to jail pending trial.
The homeowners would be interviewed on scene but not arrested or charged with any crime based on the facts provided.
If the intruders were killed, pretty much the same as above, but the deputies would be in the house a lot longer and the M.E. would respond and take custody of the corpses.
There are a lot of minute details that go into any investigation, especially major felony cases like this, but that is the quick and dirty.
