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.
If the child is in an unsafe environment, I encourage you to contact your local law enforcement agency or state child protection agency. There are too many unknowns in your question to give any kind of realistic answer.

Patrol - mostly in a patrol car. I'm assigned a section of the city as a patrol zone and I am responsible for all calls that come into that area. A portion of the time includes getting out on foot and walking through businesses, parks and apartment complexes, but most of my time is spent going from dispatched call to dispatched call via automobile.
No one really responds from the station (like a firefighter). Sometimes you might be there for paperwork or submitting evidence and then get a call, but it isn't normal procedure.

Trust your gut. Drug habits are tough. I'd recommend reaching out to some resources in your community that might be able to help you. You cannot make him quit, you can only protect yourself and your children (if you have any.) Good luck.

To optimize your chances at being a police officer, there are several things you can do. These include:
1. Stay in school, learn proper english and get good grades.
2. Obtain and hold a steady job.
3. Join the military, work hard, earn commendations and be honorably discharged.
4. Complete a higher education degree.
5. Avoid doing stupid things with stupid people in stupid places. Or in other words, don't get into trouble, do drugs, drink to excess, go into debt and hang around with the wrong people.
6. Join a law enforcement reserve program. This is volunteer work that can give you valuable experience in law enforcement. Getting into a reserve program requires you to go through the same background investigation and meet the same standards as a full time officer does.
