I believe that a vampire is a representation of exploitative forces that you invite into your own life but could avoid if you chose to. A policeman is hard to avoid, especially if they have a warrant. Therefore, a vampire cannot be a policeman in the first place, since the state of being a policeman overwhelms the state of being a vampire.
Or vice versa, according to Blade.
Bram Stoker had a different take
Writers need to be interpreted, because it's unlikely that they actually understand what they wrote. Therefore, when employing a novel to address a problem, my interpretation is probably more important than the original work.
It's not even clear that Bram Stoker had a good understanding of the word "Dracula": https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=2467&v=BvFwqVzEsfw
