I'm sure, family services at least, will try to help resolve the issue before doing more drastic measures.  The police are probably a bit more legalistic and they can damage families more than fix them (though of course, that depends).

I think an important factor you need to consider is whether your dad really doesn't like you, or just overreacts.  If the former, you're probably better off considering whether you should move out, as it's unlikely the situation will improve.  If the latter, maybe talk to some family services person or whatever and see what options you have.  It can't hurt to seek info.  There's probably also anonymous services in your area where you can ask for advice.
