Part of the idea is this: Civilians in unprotected areas will avoid attracting the Grimm, at least for a while, which means the Hunters can easily eliminate the nearby Grimm without having to worry about them attacking a nearby village with innocent people.

It prevents the Grimm from attacking innocents for a while, and in said while Hunters have no need to protect them as they wouldn't be in combat unless they are extremely unlucky/dumb/both. It keeps the civilians safe, and allows the Hunters to go all out with no limitations, distractions or inconviniences. At least that's the concept.

The people feeling safe doesn't mean the Hunters will sit on their lazy asses. Even in times of "peace" like Christmass, the police must still arrest criminals and do their job, because even if people feel safe, it doesn't mean the danger has been resolved.

On a sidenote: If guns and armies are going to kill Grimms, why haven't they done so? Atlas has an army full of robots that can easily be disposed, so why don't they, say, make an erradication protocol and clean a whole area or two? If the solution was that simple and effective, it would have been used already, don't you think?
