Is making a report to the police a protected activity?

The Frankenbergers' act of making a report to the police is a protected activity because it consists of an act in furtherance of their right to petition the government in connection with a public issue. The report by the Frankenbergers to the police was an act of petitioning in that the Frankenbergers were petitioning the police to follow-up on the alleged crime. (Chabak v. Monroy (2007) 154 Cal.App.4th 1502, 1512 ["statement to the police arose from her right to petition the government and thus is protected activity"].)
