Her time as a vigilante changed nothing there, she did exactly the same thing way back in Fool Moon.

No jurisdiction? Who cares, investigate anyway.
No evidence? Fuck it, arrest Harry on a gut feeling and then assault him in custody as a bonus.

Murphy was always a Maverick Cop That Played By Her Own Rules(tm) it's only because she was competent (and creative with her reports) that she lasted as long on the force as she did.

She worked for SI for years. No support from above, hide the supernatural with creative reporting because that is expected from you, solve your own problems, ....

She never had a normal police job.

Yeah, she did.  She was an ordinary beat cop in Restoration of Faith.

Long ago and those were not her formative years.

Maybe, maybe not, she came in contact with Harry then and was introduced to trolls for the first time.  It doesn't matter how long ago it was, she still went to and graduated from the academy.  She was indoctrinated with the values of a police officer, they formed the foundation of who she was.  In the first two books of the series, that foundation was very apparent, under the influence of Harry and what she saw with her own eyes, she evolved.  But when push came to shove, because of that foundation in law enforcement, she wasn't able to be a Holy Knight beyond that one night in C.I..
