DH just tried to take trash outside and was met by several cops and a k-9 unit in our yard and a helicopter over head. They asked if he'd seen anyone come by and he said no. They said "We need you to go back into your house, sir." Now they've blocked off our street.

You've had issues on your neighborhood before, right? That would drive me bonkers.
Just regular issues that come along with living in an urban location, nothing like this.
Actually, something like this happened about 8 years ago at our old house (different city). That ended up being a with (IIRC) 7 people being shot and they were searching for the shooters (who turned out to be gang bangers from a different city who shot a group of innocent people who they THOUGHT were rival gang members. They were not ).
Lock everything up and stay inside. Chances are whoever it is they're looking for is long gone.
This reminds me of the escaped convict who hid in the broom closet of my dorm freshman year. My idiot friend regularly broke the rules and often propped the back door open. Luckily no one was hurt, not even the escaped convict upon recapture.

I'm friendly with our city councilman (he lives in my neighborhood) and he said that there was a high speed chase on the highway, they exited the highway and crashed near me and 3 suspects got out and ran. Not exactly sure what they did, but things have quieted down. And we have a shit-ton of snow and we'd have plenty of footprints to show where they'd gone if they went through yards.

That is NUTS.
Right? It was pretty weird but I totally took it in stride in the way only seventeen year olds can do; if I had been older I would have totally freaked. lol

This tale doubles as your "how I met my SO" story, right?
If only! I was in college when I met him, just on the tail end vs. the beginning. More's the pity. I totally would win any "how'd you meet"* contest. Forever and always.
Years ago I lived in an apartment. A friend and I were laying on the back patio, trying to get suntans. There was a really tall privacy fence between our yards and the homes in the neighborhood behind us. I heard a helicopter flying low. All of a sudden some a guy came flying over the fence, ran between us and past the end of my building. Next 2 cops bolted over this fence and ran past him. We looked at each other stunned for a few seconds, got up and ran to the front of my building. There were police cars everywhere. They caught the guy, I think he'd done an armed robbery.
To this day I have no idea how those guy got up and over that wood fence. It was at least 6' tall. Maybe the neighbors behind it had something against it but it wasn't like it was chain link that they could easily crawl.
