usage of-would

It is an attractive proposition that the "professional" police officer would an honest, scrupulous, law abiding and justice-dispensing servant, and would hold his own against the errant politician.

I find this "would an" misfit; I think it should be "would be an"; what do you think?

You're right, "would an" is not correct there. It is most likely a typo for "would be an", as you suggest.
