Not every wrongdoing to a community is illegal per se. The police has nothing to do with it. And concerning illegal things that the police could act on, the situation in real life is much more complex than you seem to think. First, a legal procedure can take time and as a collective you may want to protect the victims and your organization in the meantime. Second, you can encourage but never force a victim to go to the police and through a legal procedure that may requires them to go through their trauma again and again, especially since the justice system does not exist outside of our societies and so has the same biases that makes many forms of harassment possible in the first place, making the procedure outcome not always favorable to the victims, who you may want to protect at your organization level nonetheless.
The way you see the collective approach has nothing collective if it is the doing of a few individuals. When I say "collective" I mean that word, not "the unaccountable head of the organization" as you seem to think.
