I can say with out a doubt thats what happened here. They have one thing they have to do which I will put my foot down on and refuse to comply. One of the nuttier things is they are required to automatically assign a case report if a reported runaway is on the screen from a certain amount of time if we haven't been able to respond. We eventually get there and it was never a runaway and they (dispatch) demands we do a report. I refuse to make my guys do a report because little johnny was an hour late and the RP forgot to tell us they were home. My take is if it's your policy to pull a case you do the report. Its not a Law Enforcement issue.
