We have a few frum yidden on the job. We are fully accommodated in regards to Shabbosim / Yom Tovim.

You should keep in mind that Gentiles may not understand the nature of Sabbath; therefore, try to request these accommodations nicely, respectfully, politely. “Protests,” “petitions,” “accusations” may increase hate / anti-semitism.
If possible, resolve disputes without making your fellow officers envy / abhor you. Making accommodations for you gives extra work and extra headache for someone else.
Thank them often.

Until now I would have said that an ehrlicher Yid should not join the police force. But if it is possible to get off on Shabbos without seniority, then maybe it’s okay.
