The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
To the cops of Chicago do the Alpha's seem like a gang?
Snark Knight:
I'm not sure the police would have noticed much. The Alphas were mostly targeting low-level supernatural threats. SI might possibly notice a decrease in weird stuff happening in their territory, but they're probably too overworked to look a gift horse in the mouth. I think they had a bit of a sideline in suppressing mundane street crime, but it's not like the gangsters they did run into are going to file a complaint to the cops about a pack of wolves running them off their turf.
Smaug with OCD:
This is actually a really, really interesting question. Frankly, after everything we've seen so far, I'd be surprised if the normies haven't noticed what's going on. But, we don't get things from that angle. So, we can't know until it's revealed(probably around the BAT).
Mr. Death:
Yeah, I don't think the cops think anything of the Alphas, because they're just plain not aware of the Alphas.
Do you think the vampires they turn away are going to report to the cops?
Do you think muggers are going to be like, "Yeah, I pulled out my knife on this couple, then a dog bit me!"
Who do you think is going to be telling the cops that their attempts to rob/kill/eat people are being disrupted by dogs?
Mr. Death:
Probably the most "attention" the Alphas get is some coed on Yik Yak posts, "OMG, I was on my way home from a party, kinda drunk, and this guy tried to mug me! Then out of nowhere, a bunch of dogs ran him off. God is watching! #blessed" followed by a chorus of, "Right, that happened, sure."
If anyone does start reporting about dogs breaking up crimes on campus, that's just a weird enough story to get shunted over to Special Investigations, where Murphy promptly doesn't do a damn thing about it except tell Billy to try not to get caught on camera.

Better the odd police report than the incident with supernatural fleas.
