search; action
"search" is a good answer; however, another possible answer in this legal text according to another legal dictionary, in this case, Noronha's Legal Dictionary, is "action". The action that was taken was not necessary a search, and we don't know given the context.

incident
(And Participação can be translated as Incident Report).
Diligência means literally "endeavour", but in this case the reference is to the act of police "intervention", something like "incident requiring police attention". I think "incident" will do just fine.
