Living in a very small town, we only have 3 police officers and my wife and I are at least familiar with all of them. I also work as a Juvenile Detention Officer for the county, so I know quite a few of the deputies as well. With all that, chances are I'd recognize most of the peace officers that might come to our door.
If I didn't I would definitely be armed as I went to the door and would remain so until I verified who it was.
