Answer 2

The officer writing the report may act on it if he can and has the time and it looks like a real case. If not the report goes to the proper investigative unit for the type of crime. They investigate the best they can, again first they try to determine if there was a crime, then they see if they can find a victim and then they try to track a offender. Depending on the severity and the local police manpower something could happen or nothing will happen. The report remains on file.
