I always thought that Ruby mentioning the police was just her way stressing how important becoming a Huntress is to her. I mean, look at how, immediatly after that, she freaks out in excitement at the very idea of being a Huntress one day. I think that she sees Hunters as simply Super-police, and because she respects cops, she idolizes Hunters.

In my mind, Ruby wants to help people so much that cops are the only sensible alternitive to being a Huntress. While EMTs and Firefighters certianly help people, they're reactive. You can't fight fires if there's no fire. You can't save lives if everyone's healthy. But cops can make an area safer just by their prescence. Cops patrol. EMTs and Firefighters don't.

I think that Ruby shares a bit of Yang's love for action. She couldn't deal with waiting for a fire to start or someone to get hurt, or even for a crime to be comitted; Ruby has to be proactive and go hunt down the source of the problem. Thus, Huntress.
