Eh it's mostly a lazy writing thing. The few times law enforcement or government get involved in these types of stories they are either hilariously incompetent token sidekicks who keep the secret to themselves or basically villains. It stems from the idea that getting government entities involved in a supernatural show and not being villains creates the uncomfortable question of why then, isn't the government doing anything about the various supernatural conflicts and drama going on. Basically it's a lazy excuse for why the protagonists can't just get armed police or military assistance for problems that would easily be solved by it.

Although now that I think about it, a show where the hidden supernatural elements of the world are successfully hidden right up until the modern day where it gets revealed by accident and having the government go, "oh shit there are vampires, werecreatures, and fey folk in pretty much every major city and we had no clue, what the fuck so we do now?" That would be something I would watch just to see things like highway patrol trying to ticket a werewolf or the FDA trying to come up with proper health standards for selling human blood to vampires.

I stopped watching/reading the True Blood series really early on but isn't that the basic concept of it? that vampires/weres/faeries were always around and just decided to "come out of the closet" and there was a huge fallout?
If they'd stuck to that it would have been amazing...

Yeah true blood had shades of this but got hijacked by personal character drama and wasted a lot of it world building potential. I was thinking more along the Lines of basing the show right when the secret gets out rather than after everything settles down like in true blood.

That sounds a lot like the concept of the SHIELD show, except that also tackles super-powered people and aliens and all sorts of shenanigans. Especially since they really did have their masquerade-shattering moment where aliens invaded New York and we were rescued by a god and a gamma-mutant and so forth, and now we get to see a government try to deal with it all.
