The police probably wouldn't get involved..
As it is the marital home, you have every right to equal possession of it.
If the marriage is over, retain an attorney, and pursue divorce. Your attorney could likely obtain access to the home, which depending upon the particular circumstances involved, this might be considered an emergency by the Court.
If the situation will likely blow over, then deal with it as best as you can
