Actually, js, yes, I do think wesen police officers would turn in a wesen crime or murder. Human officers arrest humans, there's no reason why wesen officers wouldn't do the same. I believe that in many circumstances not seen on Grimm, wesen have much more integrity and honesty than their human counterparts.

No, I have not. But in all fairness to wesen, I don't believe that all criminal wesen actually woge. To begin with, the woge puts them at an unfair advantage. Not only can grimms see them, but also other wesen. It'd be much more to a criminal wesen's advantage to simply stay human. And while they are criminal wesen, I also believe that they frown upon woging and so refrain from it as much as possible.
That doesn't mean totally, but I think the ones who woge are more the rarity than the norm.
Hi irukandji ...
I have to partially agree with on that. Basically, I remember a scene when Nick and Hank went to a prision to see a prisioner and many of the prioners were wesen. I don't think Nick alone was responsible for all the prisions. I mean, the show gave us the impression that grimms are few people on earth and much of them work as headhunter.
Nick is one of the few (if he is not the only one) grimms that work for the police. So, my point is that there are many police stations without a grimm to help them that are doing their job.
We can debate if a grimm can do a better job (like resolve more wesen crimes than a non grimm) or not. But certainly non grimm police officers are doing their job.
I think the point here is not about the show inside it (if a police station needs a grimm). I think the point is out the show: if the grimm wasn't a police officer, how this would affect the plot of the show?
I also think that a paralell question can be: what can a grimm do for live?
At least in the show we had Josh's father that hided himself (but I don't remeber what he did for life). All the others grimm were working in somekind of official/extraofficil goverment agency (HW and Nick as a cop) or they were working as mercenary (like Kelly). Nick said his aunt Marie were library, but I don't think that was true.
So, at least the show gave us the impression that a grimm can't have a normal job, at least in the plot we watched. So I think that to change this some important points of the plot would have to be changed.
