At work we had this happen to a '08 Durango, we pried the top of the door panel off enough to get a hand in there and the boss got a wire and touched some stuff together to get it to work, in the process blowing the fuse for all the door latches, lol. But we got it open. I'll ask him tomorrow what exactly was up with it.
EDIT: Sorry, forgot to respond. I guess the reason the door didn't work was because of some canine unit wiring that got cut wrong when the PD tried to take apart the car themselves.
