On Calling the Cops-

THEY DID... or at least they thought they had; Leo was the one asked to call them, and he told them everything was crisis, red-tape, and static.

-Crisis was self evident.

-Mistral is known for a heavy criminal underground presence... and their forces are almost certainly intact too, they can't just tell every Huntsman trained asset that Beacon is open for business and ready to loot... for one thing, some bosses may give info to Salem, for another, Salem herself(and the Maidens) are "need to know", Blake herself called the cops because wtf cares about people knowing what known terrorists do... especially as she needed to be above board to reclaim the mantle as a reformed diplomat corps.

-Static was Static... they had no time for it

Ultimately this was a main reason they suspected Leo, and when you suspect your hand picked man is a traitor... who do you suspect isn't? Ozpin can't just visit king and council and tell them: "It's me guys, I re-incarnate..." they wouldn't trust him, they could send him to an institution if they didn't think he was sane... or worse if they thought he was and suspected he might turn on them.
