There is a reason to fill out a report. The existance of the report provides evidence that could improve Sultana's chances of getting a restraining order.
The existance and violation of a restraining order improves the chances of being able to get the person arrested. This could, possibly, compell the state to place the person in treatment.
Lacking any police report,
nothing happened. There is no record of harrassment.
What, exactly, is the downside to filing a report, stating that the person in question was picked up and why? What, exactly, is the downside of speaking to the person who called 911, and seeing if anything else that the police are not aware of happened?
