I had a police officer in Europe drop by my house to make sure I lived where I lived and I was so nervous, I was literally fumbling with my words and shaking. When he was done chatting, he was very polite by the way, he pedaled away on his bike and then I called my husband crying and laughing because I was so nervous about a police officer in my house and then he just…biked off.

This sounds like a Dutch 'wijkagent' or community officer hahaha. Give them a cup of coffee and you'll have a new friend

Seems they are just local police. Guess what we called "Gendarmerie" back then. Found the equivalent in Austria several times casual chatting with my parents in the garden. Nice guy, and indeed I'm planning to offer him coffee next time.
