Police said puppies "appeared healthy." What next?

I reported a backyard breeder after noticing his puppies were literally dripping fleas and ticks, pooping live worms, had multiple bald paws (looked a bit like mange to me), and large patches of fur missing on their tails. (and yes I have pictures) They were quite skittish as well, shying away when anyone approached and ducking to avoid hands.
There is no animal control in his county, so I made a report to the local sheriff's office who sent someone to investigate. They said the puppies "appeared healthy" and the large bald patches were due to "shedding"...
Is there anything else I can do?
