Nick was supposedly an effective cop before he became Grimm, implying he was effective against wesen without knowing they were wesen. Using the standard, lawful, and non-life taking measures that are the collection of procedures that make up civil law enforcement, Nick was able to effectively discharge the duties of his job.
My theory on this one...
From the number of wesen we saw in prison when Nick and Hank visited, and from the fact that PPB officers weren't being found gutted on a regular basis, when wesen criminals found themselves facing officers they couldn't run away from, instead of woging and killing them, they surrendered and played kehrseite all the way through the legal system. Maybe because wesen population centers all had someone who would report violations of the Gesetzbuch Ehrenkodex to the Wesen Council, and if enough violations occurred there'd be Marechaussee roaming the streets hunting for the violators.
When Nick went Grimm, individual wesen he encountered did attack him, but there still wasn't a wholesale epidemic of wesen attacking kehrseite and keherseite cops. Maybe because Nick was just one Grimm, but the Wesen Council could send way more than one Marechaussee if they wanted to...until Conrad and his buddies assasinated the Wesen Council.
Seems like all bets should be off now, doesn't it?
But really, the BC uprising in Portland wasn't nearly as big a deal as they tried to make it seem. They wrecked a bunch of shops, infiltrated one precinct and slipped a candidate into the mayoral election. Compared to 1950s Portland crime boss Jimmy Elkins, who had the mayor, the DA and the police chief in his pocket, they were a bunch of pikers.
