There are couple of different ways to solve this. Do you need three routes, to each of the school from the same starting location (police car location)? So, you can use the route solve, three different times OR you can use the Closest Facility Solver. Load the police car shape file as the facility. Load the three school locations from the second shape file as incidents. Set the travel direction to travel from Facility to Incident and solve. This will give you three separate routes. See screenshot below. Jay Sandhu   ... View more

NA is Network Analyst. You mentioned you have that extension. SMP is Streetmap Premium, the network dataset on which you can perform the route analysis. Jay Sandhu ... View more

It is pretty straightforward to do routes between a pair of points in Network Analyst. Basic steps, add the network dataset from SMP to the map and then use the NA drop down on Analysis tab to create a route layer, add the two stops and solve. Best is to run through the tutorials to get yourself familiar with this workflow. Find the shortest path and generate directions with Route—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation Jay Sandhu ... View more

For 1: The locations where you want to route to should be at the point of pickup/drop off. Having a roof top location or a parcel centroid may have that location snap to a wrong location for routing purposes. For 2: Can you use an existing street network? For example, you can use the ArcGIS Online routing service via ArcGIS Pro and pay credits for doing the routes. It uses the Streetmap Premium road network and has all the impedance/restrictions built in with convenient to use Travel modes for what you may need to drive. But to answer your question about continuous segments or have them broken up at intersections is a choice you have to make as both are supported via the AnyVertex or EndPoint connectivity options of a network dataset. If they are continuous, you have to make sure to create vertices where other streets will cross or join. This can be done with the Integrate tool. End point style street segments are a bit easier to manage and maintain. Jay Sandhu ... View more

Also, you cannot have null values for the other stops. If you are using a sequence field, then all stops should have a non-null value. Jay Sandhu ... View more

The route solve looks at the Sequence field. It cannot be any field, unless you load that field information to the Sequence Field on the Stops attribute table. Jay Sandhu ... View more

How are you defining the last stop? Initially it is the order in which they are added but after some solves you have to set the sequence numbers to specify the first and last stops. Jay Sandhu  ... View more

So what is happening to the last stop? Is it not the last stop? Or it is not reached? It is not clear what issue you have and the screen shot does not show anything meaningful. Please post some more details. Thanks, Jay Sandhu ... View more

You can use the Explore Network tool to look at the connectivity of the network. Most likely the edges are not connected, and it could be due to a number of reasons including whether the data needs End point or Any vertex connectivity. The Explore tool should give you a clue on how the edges are connected and if the impedance values are correct. More info on the tool here: Explore Network—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation Jay Sandhu ...

You can check what values you have for the edges and what break values you are setting for the service area. If you think about it, slope is a ratio and not a useful number to use as an impedance. So perhaps the values are not what you might think they are.  Jay Sandhu ... View more

How are you modeling slopes as a cost? Is the slope information added as an impedance to the network dataset? You can use the Explore network tool and inspect the edges to make sure the values are set up correctly. More info here: Explore Network—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation Jay Sandhu ... View more

Here is a quick overview of what you need to do: If you want to use the roads that you have to compute the shortest paths, then first you will need to create a network dataset on them. Next you will need to convert the excel X,Y into point feature class using the GP tool AddXY. Next you need to create a route analysis layer and load your points as stops and solve. All of these high level steps need more familiarity with the Network extension. You will need to use the tutorials to get started on this. You can access the tutorials here: https://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/extensions/network-analyst/about-the-network-analyst-tutorial-exercises.htm OR, if you have an ArcGIS online account, you can use the map viewer and upload you XY data and use the Calculate Travel Cost tool. For this it will use credits and use the Streetmap Premium network data to compute the distances/paths.

The geocoding process returns a match score but once an address is turned into a point feature, then you can load it into your VRP layer by clicking on the Orders button on the VRP ribbon or using the Add Locations GP tool. Have you done this step? If yes and you still get the error then the next step is to check if you have road features in your network dataset that are near the Order locations for them to be located on the network.  Can you draw your network and check?
