Narrative:

While boarding; a young woman sat in the co pilot seat. We talked while the other passengers were boarding. She asked me if I had ever had problems with someone being; 'naughty' in the co pilot seat. I asked her to clarify her question. She asked if anyone touched the controls. I explained that post 9/11; there is zero tolerance for anyone touching the controls and if someone did; I would have to report them to the police.during the taxi out she took out her phone and started to take a picture of herself with her hand on the yoke. I said; 'no!' loudly and moved her hand. I told her do not touch the controls.she sat quietly for the next 30 minutes or so but then as we were crossing the shoreline [nearing our destination]; she again grabbed the yoke with her left hand and tried to take a picture with her phone in her right hand. I swatted her hand away again. As we approached [destination]; I called in range to the gate and asked that a law enforcement officer (leo) meet my plane because a passenger has grabbed the controls twice. The ops agent assured me that he had called.I pulled up the the gate and saw several people standing by the double doors. I assumed one or more were police officers.the passengers disembarked and I followed behind; scanning for the leo. There was no one. I went through the gate doors and looked there. Then I went to baggage claim and looked there. There were no police officers. After that; I rushed to our ticket counter to see if they were waiting there. Again; there was no one. I asked an employee for the manager and she said he was in his office. I found him there and asked where the police were. He was not aware of the situation. Two officers showed up about 5 min after I arrived at the manager's office. They said they got the call but had gone to the wrong airplane.I should have waited to pull into parking until I was sure the leo was there.
