Can I move out at the age of 17 in oregon?

I am currently 17 as of september. my dad so happens to be an abusive drunk. I’ve already made a report with dhs. but unfortunately I’m still stuck in this hell hole of a house. I will be graduating in june, so obviously still need to attend my school, which I’m sure I can do even if I leave because my high school is a classic “home” high school. Anyways I’m just wondering if I do find a place to stay if it would be worth the cops time to come after me?

In Oregon I’m pretty sure you need to be 18-years-old but if you are living in an unsafe environment you can take it to court and possibly get emancipated.
