Asking the police officers to work for no pay for 6 months would eventually pit them against others

More likely would eventually cause them all to quit and look for new jobs. I'm no cop sympathizer, but they don't get paid enough to survive 2 months without pay, let alone 6. The people who actually wanted to help others would quit too.
