I'd need more information and fact-checking, but yes, that is highly inappropriate, if only because the police could intimidate anyone into voting for pro-police union candidates just by looking at a voter.
Face it, the police are not honest and haven't been for decades. They have their own self-interests which are not subordinated to the public interest. And thus, having a polling station inside a police station is a definite conflict of interest there.
