I recently (4:31pm indio ca 10/13/2020) got a call from (760)391-*** claiming my Apple icloud account has been breached and to contact apple support or to press 1 to be forwarded to Apple Support.... I didn’t press a number and phone call just got cut off, so I called back and it was Indio Police Department I told them what just happened and they told me to notify Apple

The phone number was spoofed, as are most telemarketing and scam calls, to a number that they thought you were more likely to answer (e.g., a local number).
Apple doesn't make unsolicited phone calls. If there was a problem you would be notified when attempting to log in, including when logging into this forum. Also see: Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support
That Apple Support page suggests the following if you want to report it to someone:
You can report fraudulent tech support calls to the Federal Trade Commission (U.S. only) at www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov or to your local law enforcement agency.
One option to consider is Settings > Phone > Silence Unknown Callers. See: Detect and block spam phone calls - Apple Support
