A court case years ago established that protecting the public isn't even considered their primary purpose,
Several precedents spring to mind. Warren v. DC was the most infamous. The Supreme Court decision in DeShaney v.s. Winnebago County found something similar.

Other cases include South v. Maryland, Bowers v. Devito, and Hartzler v. City of San Jose.
