It may have been no one. My experience has been that the rules in the brotherhood of the badge pretty much state that you turn your head and look the other way if a cop is dirty (as long as he in not a murderer (like Nick with Kenneth, that is why it is so unbelievable that both Hank and Wu would be complicit)). So I don't think anyone had to necessarily be protecting him as much as people reflexively turning their head the other way. Nick may simply have be shunned socially ad not actually protected.
Well, Wu was not complicit, he was actually the one who called attention to Nick's unsolved cases. It was after Nick became a grimm that Wu joined the group and lost his integrity in the process.
I also recall an episode where Nick was going to torture a wesen to get information out of him and Hank prevented him from doing so.
It makes me wonder if Hank was partnered with Nick to keep him in line. During my father's police days, he told us of policemen who were paired with others to keep them in line. If that didn't work, they were fired.
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
