I had a burglar coming to my Sim's house and steal things. My Sim woke up, I clicked the option to call the police station and got the notification that they are on their way, but nothing happened. The burglar stole a few items and left and no one showed up. Is this intended and normal that the police won't show up every time or is it a bug?

Are you using mods/cc in your game ?
I am having this very same problem! All mods are up to date. I temporarily removed my mods, reinstalled my game and tried again and I'm still having the same issue
Did you move the whole mods folder to the desktop and delete the localthumbcache file ?
My Sim called the police multiple times and the police never showed - this is in a mod free save, created before the update, though only about a month old. I had the lot challenge on to make burglaries worse - I know it says it will make the alarm less dependable, maybe the police too?
If relevant, I do have Get to Work but have not played the detective career in this save.
I also have this issue. Discovered it while i was playing completely vanilla in a fresh save. Tried moving to a base game world but no change
I have this issue as well
Another consideration, what are lot traits? Private Dwelling prevents/prevented even Pizza delivery, wondering... Also, is lot a Rental unit, vacation rental, or apartment? Some sims didnt know how to deliver to apartments though still took your money anyways
I repaired the game and generated a new Sims 4 folder, It works. I added my mods, it works. When I want to play on my old save, it doesn't work. I checked with the MCC to see if the police have a hidden trait, they don't.
If I delete the police officer on a working save game, a new police officer will appear.
Maybe older save games can't assign a Sim to the role and/or generate a new Sim. I added the police officer from the working save to my old save without removing his role, it works.
I don't want to have Marcus Flex twice in my game, so I'm waiting for a fix or a mod that will allow me to manually assign the role to him or another Sim. By the way, Marcus Flex doesn't have a NPC role in my old save that could block the assignment.

Yeah I have the burglar alarm which seems to stop the burglar stealing anything, but the police have never showed up - it's happened a couple of times now.
Also why does a child need to "route to safety" as if there were a fire, just for a burglar? They're a burglar, not a kidnapper, and even if they were a kidnapper the child would not be safer standing outside the front door than they are in their study room inside the house.
