If the police won't file a complaint then you should call up the prosecutor's office and make an appointment to see about pressing charges with them directly. That usually does the trick as far as getting charges going.

If the prosecutor will not press charges, then you may want to alert the local media and ask them to ask the prosecutor why he does not appear to have an interest in doing his/her job.
