Yep. And sometimes they take all the children away too, based on a hoax call, but I digress.

1. You get someone to "go outside to talk to the cops"
2. Have someone ready to slam the door and lock it behind the guy ASAP so the cops cant barge in.
3. Allow the guy back in only after the cops leave.
If you have a back/side door use that to come out and talk to the cops. Catches them offguard a little.

You have the right idea, but sending a person out is risky. Furthermore, opening the door for any reason is practically an open invitation for them to force their way in, as many are trained to do...
A better approach is to chain the door beforehand, and then open it a crack to talk with the officer. Simple as that.
Don't let them in for any reason, but on the other hand try to assist them in solving the problem - ie. if they're out there for a noise complaint, turn the volume down / end the party; call it a night.
