The Uchiha Police Force dispatched a large number of personnel to conduct an extensive search across the entire village, but they still failed to find Shisui's body.
Not only that, driven by a certain anxious emotion, the Uchiha responsible for the search clashed with quite a few civilians and even entire clans.
In theory, the Uchiha Police Force possessed law enforcement authority, and all of Konoha fell within their jurisdiction.

For example, Konoha's major shinobi clans now basically all had their own clan compounds. With the village and the Uchiha growing increasingly opposed, they could not possibly accept being searched by the Uchiha.
And the Police Force was eager to find Shisui, such a powerful combat asset, which caused even more conflicts. The entire village was in chaos.
As the clan head, Fugaku Uchiha was even more overwhelmed.
But compared to dealing with those conflicts, Shisui Uchiha's continued disappearance was what truly irritated him.
Offending the people of the village meant nothing to the current Uchiha Clan.
They had already offended nearly everyone anyway. One more or one less made no difference.
