Essentially none. I'm not arguing they don't have too much influence in Washington.Police are a group of private unions.So you can't fire a cop?
Police unions in the United States include a large number and patchwork variety of organizations. Of those unions which conduct labor negotiations on behalf of its police members, 80% are independent and have no affiliation to any larger organized labor groups.
What difference does it make whether they are large or small unions.
Police unions have been one of the biggest lobbyists against legalizing weed -- along with Prison guards, Big Pharma, Big alcohol ( why ? ) and big tobacco (why again?) and of course the paper and textile industries with patents on tree and cotton production. But now hemp is legal thanks to Trump.
