The series explanation is essentially that wesen who were cornered by police mostly refrained from using their woge to escape or take on the police, because if they did they could expect the Wesen Council to send an enforcer to kill them, and they were more afraid of that than they were of prison time. So there may have been a larger number of "animal incidents" in Portland than in the average city of its size (which could be explained by the fact that Portland has preserved a lot of wild space with coyotes and the occasional cougar, lynx or bobcat within its boundaries), but not a significant number of unexplained police casualties from animal attacks. And the amount of crime that can exist in a city, regardless of who the criminals are, is always going to be limited to what the citizenry will tolerate before agreeing to pay the necessary taxes to put more police on the streets.
