They could most likely make things work in an emergency, but they really wouldn't wanted to except as a last resort, given the amount of political manoeuvring involved in the background (and Tsumihoroboshi-like situations may just be a case of fortuitous timing, since in Tsumi itself they off Rika shortly after she escapes the explosion). If keeping Rika hidden for a day or so is an option, that would definitely be the preferred option.
And Ooishi only gets popped while they're in the midst of executing the main operation. Since they're cutting off all communication to and from Hinamizawa, they're obviously much more involved with any cars passing by. We don't see any sign of them worrying about anything other than "Takano"'s corpse on the night of the festival.

And given that in every loop, as far as Rika knows, Tomitake dies first under extremely suspicious, Hinamizawa Syndrome related circumstances, Takano dies the same night in what's clearly a deliberate murder, and finally she herself dies a couple days later, despite all three people involved being so closely tied to this elite special forces unit (that Rika knows is incredibly immoral), with none of her pleas ever changing anything, should make the idea that the Yamainu are involved with all the murders the most obvious conclusion, even with them knowing about the obvious supposed horrific consequences of murdering her.
Either Okonogi would have to be super incompetent (and Rika knows he isn't), or super evil. Rika dismissing that idea entirely just makes her look really stupid.

Just look at this guy. Who wouldn't trust him unconditionally?
