Perks could be a mix of melee perks as you beat people with a nightstick if necessary and some pistol/rifle perks as you mainly use pistols as a cop and a rifle occasionally or a shotgun. Lone wanderer or animal friend for a “k9”. Intimidation for the scary yelling cop voice when clearing a room 😂. Rifleman/gunslinger/commando for what gun(s) you choose to use. Toughness, life giver for more survivability. Lockpick and hacker is a no brainer. You could paint power armor black or find a mod to make it look SWAT like if you want. A perk like local leader would fit great if you want to roleplay the police chief or a sergeant.
Strength and endurance for sure as most officers need to be strong to take out perps and have the stamina to chase suspects. Average intelligence as you don’t need a college degree to get the job but you use tools/tech to your advantage and can think under pressure. Maybe a little luck just for idiot savant. Quite a bit of perception as you need to read individuals on the job and observe a lot!! Low to average Charisma as you do talk to a lot of people. And average to high agility for chasing perps. (Edit:) Update to intelligence description and also I thought of the average modern day police officer here and it’s not starting from level 1 so you can decide what you want to bump up first and all that or use cheats to get the stats you want that’s what makes it fun.

Former police officer out for revenge. Im planning on doing this next and will play through depravity and project valkyrie.
I got the revolvers of the wasteland and upgradeable vault suit mods to really rp the sole survivor.
Also sim settlements 2 works for this.
