It's not that simple. Under Sibyl, one out of two million people can and will murder a few people and get away with it before getting disappeared. But the majority of people who, in our world, would become murderers either never come into contact with the environment that'd make killers out of them (poverty, organized crime...) or are caught very early. Often before they've had time to strike. They still need a police (in fact, they need a better one than what they've got. It's not just about numbers. They generally just suck at arresting people.)
But, and here is the catch, Sibyl can only work if people believe in it. So, yes, cover-up becomes more important than catching criminals. At least, that's the director's POV.
Though you're quite right about the lack of feedback.
