Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.
I spent more than ten years in law enforcement, all of it on the street in uniform patrol. I've been a patrol officer, instructor, sergeant and lieutenant.
Do not report crimes here. Nothing here should be considered legal advice. All opinions are my own.
From a legal perspective, a fine, probation or jail time are all possibilities.
I'd call the PD and let them know I was the homeowner and had accidentally set off the alarm. That way the officers know to expect someone when they get there. I would wait for them outside, and I would have a driver's license (or other ID with my address) to show them I was the homeowner.
There is no way for me to know why he has asked these things. However, these are my immediate thoughts:
1. I'd find it really odd if I had been on four dates with someone and did not know their last name.
2. It would be really odd if I had been on four dates with someone and wasn't able to figure out her race.
3. What time of day you are up has nothing to do with checking someone's background or history.
4. If you are uncomfortable with the guy, consider dumping him and moving on.
At very large departments, there may be multiple shifts or squads of officers in a specialty unit. At small to medium agencies, there is typically only one squad, and they might work varying hours/days of the week as the job requires.

Sounds like it. Impersonating a police officer is illegal in most (all?) states. Installation and use of certain revolving, blinking or flashing lists on a car is also illegal in most (all?) states.
