A non-custodial parent has the right to call the police whenever there is an issue with visitation. In some circumstances it is highly advisable. Most of time, the police officers will not get involved or write a formal police report but the call to the police department will be logged by the 911 communications center. This helps to create a paper trail for the parent to assist in any contempt or change of custody matters pending or that may be filed later with the court.
