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.
It would be investigated as any other crime.
I am curious on how this was not reported when you were at the hospital.
Share Answer: 
Getting shot. Getting stabbed. Getting broken bones. Getting killed in an accident. Being strangled. Acquiring incurable diseases. Dealing with rotting bodies. Telling people that their loved one has been killed. Horrible hours. Working weekends. Working holidays. Dealing with defense attorneys and other scum. Low wages. Poor opportunity for advancement. Getting sued. Being rained on. Being snowed on. Working in a hurricane while all sane people have long since fled. Wrestling drunks in the mud. Dealing with unrealistic expecations of the public. Dealing with the unrealistic expectations of pencil pushers in city hall. Stress and related health problems. Chronic back problems from wearing a duty belt. Not being able to have normal relationships with non-cops. Hyper vigilance. Not being around for your family. Did I mention rotting bodies? Polyester uniforms. People throwing feces and urine on you. Being spit on. Fighting for your life as a regular job function. Dealing with other people's children. Going to the funerals of your friends.

No, I am not paid to participate here. I don't think I've seen the Alaska Satte Trooper show. I tend to avoid cop programs.

Math is important for a variety of reasons. Everything from budgeting to accident reconstruction requires math. Street officers investigating any number of financial crimes have to be able to do simple to advanced math.

You are a child. Your father has excercised reasonable discipline. If you call the police for this, you are the only person who runs the risk of being charged with anything (false report of a crime.)
Sounds like you've got a lot of growing up to do.
