Most police do not investigate civil matters. Police only investigate criminal matters. If you are involved in a civil matter, such as an eviction or a divorce, you must handle it yourself or hire an attorney.
Additional: MANY counties in Florida are "policed" (i.e.: patrolled) by deputies of the County Sheriff's Office. Although they are primarily responsible for handling criminal matters, the Sheriff's Office can handle civil complaints and enforce orders of the Civil Court, something which, as correctly noted above, "police" departments cannot.
