What Gino derided as naivety turned into mutual trust. I certainly think Akane gained allot of their trust when she stood up for Kougami when there was a possibility he might have been making an escape attempt, then subsequently risking damaging her hue to help identify Makishima.

I honestly think the enforcers value a superior like Akane who trusts them over some hypothetical meat head commando.
But should this really be surprising?
Yes, yes, yes.

I also love the story setting itself up for the dramatic irony of Akane taking down Sybil (or at least facilitating the takedown of Sybil), when Sybil itself deemed Akane "apt" for the job of Inspector.
