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.
State laws vary, but generally a police officer, on- or off-duty, can arrest someone if they have probable cause to believe a crime has been committed.

Depends on why you were not hired. Assuming you have a clean record, good job history, and don't drool on yourself during an interview, then yes. ;)
If you have lied on an application, have criminal convictions, or come off as an arrogant SOB in an interview, then no.

Checking the California Dept of Fish and Wildlife website, it looks like anyone 16 or older must have a license to fish. I did not see a reference to ages younger than 16. In the sane world, a 13 year old should be able to fish by him or herself. California, however, has some very bizarre views on what people should be allowed to do. So, I'd recommend contacting them directly.

I'm not sure what you mean by "rural area of the city." If you mean out in the country somewhere, how far would you expect to drive to find a lit area? Don't expect a trooper to follow you for miles just to look for a well lit area.
If you are in a city, you should probably pull into a parking lot/gas station whenever available to begin with.
You can ask an officer anything, but he/she doesn't have to agree to honor your request.

If you know where she is, go get her. If another adult is interfering with the custody of your child, that could be a crime & feel free to call the local law enforcement agency.
If she refuses to come home and you don't know where she is, you can report her as a runaway.

Unethical behavior is not acceptable under any circumstances.
Share Answer: 
Unless the responding officers were lazy, yes a report would be made. Uninvited people entering your hom when you are not present is criminal. Depending on AZ law, it would likely be a form or trespass or burglary. Depending on the circumstances and evidence available, probable cause may or may not exist for the officer(s) to make an immediate arrest.
In the third incident, did the victim make an actual report over the phone? Many callers start to report something, then decide they don't want a report. Reports for many not-in-progress calls can be taken by an officer over the phone depending on department policies. Depending on how you want your story to run, you might want to make it obvious to the reader what the victim chose to do. Was he/she frightened and insisted on a report? Were they largely unconcerned and minimized the event?
I hope this helps.
