Or better yet, actually teaching proper statistics to cops, so that they can figure out p values of data as they collate evidence.

Heh. It's seemingly impossible to teach cops to care about basic things like not to kneel on people's necks or how to respect cries for mercy, and you think they're going to care about statistics? All the training and education in the world can't fix bad incentives. What is needed is automatic compensation for everyone falsely arrested by the police, and for criminal laws (eg "no murder") to be enforced for police officers.
