I expect that the network found G&K's original concept "too talky," that is, requiring too much explanation for how and why the main character gets involved in - and survives - so many violent wesen incidents while staying below the radar of law enforcement. Having Nick be a cop who's actually being assigned to the cases and has a reason to be armed and trained probably saved an entire act's worth of dialog every script.
Had Nick not been a cop, he would have had to have a cop friend who was feeding him intel and helping to cover, or at least not reporting, all of his exploits. Maybe Commissioner Renard could have had a red phone to the Grimmcave and a big Grimm Signal spotlight on the roof of police HQ.
