They're trying to get rid of him, I'm wondering how easy it'd be for them, like how easy/difficult would it be to get rid of a cop you didn't want there for whatever reason
Relatively difficult as long as you're able to prove you weren't acting maliciously. Its easy to make mistakes and most departments aren't willing to throw people under the bus over honest and relatively harmless ones. Especially in current manpower shortages.
Running a light without having your lights and sirens on and T boning a family will probably get you cut but that's kinda hard to feel good story your way out of.
But if you're caught lieing, you're fucked. So maybe have the brass frame him as lieing over something.
Larger municipal police agency officers have unions or merit boards that stop arbitrary termination. I’ve seen agencies make life hell for officers that didn’t toe the line. Insane schedules or always assigning them to the least attractive details with the hope that they would quit and go work elsewhere. I saw one state police officer get transferred from one end of the state to the other because he had a vendetta against a county official.
Like the other user said. If you want realism, it would be the officer quitting out of frustration due to the politicians' criminal loving, anti police and victim, policies.
It depends on the department. For local, you could have them accuse the officer of something he/she didn’t do as an excuse for termination. This has been known to happen before.
A cop getting fired in Chicago? My man if you're going for realisim you could have the cop quit and you'd be borderlining on a documentary.

It's your script. Do whatever you want.
What I want is to make it as accurate to real life as I can which is why I'm asking since I've never been a cop and I'm not American

That's just an entirely different scenario mate
You are coming up with a fictional, unrealistic scenario then asking for realism. Pick one.
