Hiring a police officer to show you around a Rio favela sounds like a terrible idea to me. The police is currently not viewed benignly by most residents of Rio’s favelas. Context.
If you are not a journalist yourself, and/or have no contacts you could reach out to, you could try starting here, here or here.
That said, starting with a favela tour would probably not be a bad idea. I hear good things about the Santa Marta tour (which might be this one) and this one seems to be well-respected, too.
Perhaps it doesn’t need to be said, but “shooting the life in the favellas” can quickly become “poverty p**n”.
