Well, perhaps they tend not to be in non-state-run organized militias; they tend to be part of the universal militia as defined in law, and perhaps somewhat more frequently than the population in general are part of the state-organized portion of the militia (National Guard or formal state militia [e.g., the California State Guard]).
But, actually, there's quite a lot of recent information about right-wing non-government militia groups infiltrating law enforcement significantly, so its quite possibly the case that they are also more likely than the general population to be involved in that kind of militia.
My point was more that the people who join the military cosplay organizations tend to be the type to fantasize about being allowed to do violence against their fellow human. The police have no need to fantasize about that privilege.

On the other hand, people that fantasize about the privilege do tend to try to join the police, and may not leave the other organizations they joined previously when they succeed.

Police don't need to be in militias. Their right to use violent means to achieve political ends is already enshrined by the state.
