Note also that police have significant incentives to falsify line of duty fatality statistics.

If your friend dies in the line of duty their family gets significant financial support, and all it takes is a bit of paperwork no one will ever question.

That's 74 COVID deaths in the line of duty, not 74 COVID deaths for any reason. But cops are humans, if one of them dies from the third leading cause of mortality in the US our default assumption shouldn't be there's something special is going on. And they didn't do any specific testing to prove how those cops got COVID. Meanwhile your average police officer is in a higher risk group for COVID related adverse effects.
