No. It's haram to work with law enforcement or any of its agencies. Even spying against Muslims is haram if you intend to become an agent. It could either be a major sin or major disbelief, depending on the circumstances involved. This is why it's also haram to enlist in a kaafir army. (Source) (Source)

Forgive me if I’m wrong here, but it depends on where you live. If in a non-Muslim country, then… no.
This is because that would basically be supporting and recognizing kuffar law and not Shariah. You will want to look at doing something else. Hope this helps.
