Probably. Still just as equally illogical, IMO.
I disagree. Iron Masters go after humans. What better way to do it than through law enforcement? You've got the tools, apparent authority, and weapons to hunt down and isolate prey, and then take them down nice and quick. I can see an Irraka or Elodoth going down this road.
I'm not saying it doesn't make sense in that regard; I am saying that the risks make it pretty illogical. As a cop, you have to deal with a large amount of paperwork and legalities that would make it horribly difficult for werewolves to operate and achieve the things they want. As with most things, this varies on interpretation, though. Sure, you can have a pack of werewolves whose hunts operate "within the confines of mortal law", but lulz when one of them Kuruths.
I'm not even saying the concept can't be fun or can't work: Eldritch had an NPC pack of werewolves who were cops. But they were also highly manipulative of the police force and were almost exclusively SWAT (and had a monopoly on who could be and couldn't be SWAT)--they were called when violence was pretty much a given.
I'm not saying the concepts aren't possible, I was just disagreeing they are important or even particualrly fitting. Any concept can work if the players and storytellers are interested in making it work; some are just against theme and some are just very challenging (I think this is the latter).
Plus, there's the pack: if not the werewolves, then their pack could fit into a law enforcement unit well.
Different kettle of fish, though. The non-werewolf parts of the pack are supposed to blend into human society, have jobs, etc., that's their function in the Pack. In fact, most of Werewolf 2E with regards to the pack stresses that the wolf-blooded and human members are usually the ones with jobs and careers because it allows them to economically fund the werewolves's endeavors as Uratha.
