Oh, quite a few. There are Lensmen scattered throughout the IPO. Most numerous are the so-called "Blue Lensmen", who are members of Tactical Division, usually (but not exclusively) reasonably senior officers. The commander of Regional HQ for Earth, seen in Valiant Rose, was one of those. So was Luornu Durgo, before her transfer to the Space Force. They can also be found in the IPSF (Ruri Hoshino) and the Technical Section (we've seen Bruce Banner; there are others). CID has its fair share as well - we've seen at least five CID Lensmen, two of them in the Crime Lab (Gil Grissom and Nick Stokes) and three in Special Investigations (Xander Cage, Neil Krummell, and Kyouichi Saionji), and Catherine Willows was a CID Lensman before her transfer to Q Branch to help test BRIGHTEST DAY.

These are much less numerous, enough so that I can't think of any right off the top of my head. It isn't technically a requirement, but it rather goes with the territory. There are people who are considered Experts of Justice by the public who aren't Lensmen - the listed Jedi, for instance - but they aren't formally members of IPO Special Assignment 1.
