Well, I can see that there is a lot of love for the newer characters, including one who was arguably only a background/supporting character until this week! That said, yeah, I do think that Roko on patrol might be interesting on several levels. Just what kind of petty street crime does a synthetic commit? Would hanging around with ill-intent be loitering or would it be illegal parking?

Remember, Roko is a Massachusetts State Police trooper, not a city police officer, and we see her working AI exploitation investigations (something that's apt to cross city limits and county lines) in town, probably felony crimes. 

Since she does not appear to be assigned to highway patrol duty or general law enforcement in an unincorporated area, we must conclude she's a detective, although probably a junior one since we do see her in uniform from time to time.  When she appears in uniform, we don't see any chevrons or brass, so we can conclude she's a Probationary Trooper, Trooper, or Trooper First Class.  (They wouldn't have a trainee out getting canned for a raccoon.)
