How would the OT be different if April was a cop instead of a reporter?

Well she probably would have known judo or some martial arts.

She would have had a blue jumpsuit like in Mirage issue #2 and it would have been interesting to see her using a pistol to get on some of the action. Instead of the Channel 6 Van, Motorcycle, and Helicopter, we would have a police car, motorcycle, and helicopter provided by the NYPD. Cops were quite prevalant on a number of episodes, so some of the plots would have remained the same. We would have still had an occasional news reporter, but the show would take the crime-fighting message a step clearer. There would have still been some comedy, but without the Channel 6 gags there would have been some better opportunities for action. I wouldn't think April would have much martial arts skills in this version, though she would definitely be faster and have better self-defense. Irma could just be April's roomate for some comedy, while Vernon would be a rival officer.

Think of Eliza Masa from Gargoyles or Comissioner Gordon/Harvey Bullock from Batman. April would still be involved in the action and perhaps less of a damsel in distress in the original cartoon.

Burne would be the police chief, Irma the secretary, and Vernon would be the lazy glory seeking officer out to scoop April on her promotion. Thoughts?
