The problem is that being a Huntsman is something that needs a lot of dedication. You cannot half-ass it and get away with it.

The human race is in constant theat of annihilation by the Grimm. They are at the moment in an unprecedented time of peace but it won't last. What Ozpin and the teachers at Beacon are trying to teach them is not only the best way to kill a Grimm but how to survive impossible odds.

The problem with your analogy is this:

The police doesn't have a threat outside their city that can wipe out every living being in town. Also, the Huntsman are more military than police. They have the police in Vale, remember the two detectives at the dust theft?

But I understand the analogy. That doesn't mean the teachers won't be trying to make them the best Hunstman there is.
