I dunno, the Shire is basically a shrunken, idealised rural England transposed into a fantasy setting (inasmuch as a fantasy setting existed in Tolkien's time). If anything, the policemen stand out just because they aren't needed in a Hobbit society. (Frodo says during the Scouring that no Hobbit has ever murdered another in the Shire)
