We do not have a justice system in which the victim pays for the cost of investigating, prosecuting, and punishing offenders. All of that is paid by the general public. That does not mean there are no bounties -- there are, but the bounties are never paid by subtracting out amounts due victims. Changing that, so that victims would not be entitled to full restitution in order to help finance law enforcement would require changing a lot of laws, not just adding a whistleblower law. It would also overturn a lot of precedent. It would be a big change that a large majority of the public would oppose.
