Last time, he was gone for over a month. I'm not really sure I should wait that long. Something bad could happen between now and when he comes back.
I think you should call the non-emergency number and explain the situation to the police and ask them what your options are, like you said. Also, do a quick google of the area you live in and see if there are abuse victim groups. The leaders and communication directors of those groups are more than willing to provide you with more information and help or solutions.
Also, a call to the local (hopefully secular) alcohol or substance abuse clinic might yield help as well.
