You will need to go to the County Prosecutors office and see what legal action you can take against him. If you can at least get an official court recognition of his contempt of court, you may be able to process further action against him, and if the court issues an order for the child's return, the police (or sheriff's office if he lives in unincorporated county area) HAVE to get involved, as a failure to obey a court order is a contempt situation and can call for his arrest.
Just try to keep calm while dealing with the prosecutors' office, or the court, as it just makes you look mature and responsible.
Stick with it, and you will be vindicated. Then, once you have got your daughter back, have him served with a no contact order and pursue trying to get his visitation rights revoked on the grounds that he has shown criminal disrespect for the law.
Hope this helps in some way (I'm baffled that your law enforcement acted like that. Refusal to obey a custodial order is not civil, it's low-grade criminal. I wonder if he has friends in the force), and that you get this resolved quickly.
