7. Depends what the local policy is on if they can not send

When I was a deputy on call such as stuff that was clearly a civil matter they would advise them that it was likely a civil matter and that a deputy couldn’t do anything, but still send us if requested. Policy was everyone who wanted a response got one, calls like that got it eventually.

I have friends who work in big cities where they don’t even respond to burglary calls anymore, unless it’s in progress. If it’s already occurred they direct them to a website to make a report that they can give the insurance company and that’s it.

It all varies by where you are.
