They have to be "politically legitimate" and Atheist to be police in Xinjiang, massive recruitment drive in Xinjiang for police too. Where I'm citing, sources

  I'm not sure whether you're a native speaker (I'm not) but reading your first link doesn't inspire me with confidence that the majority of police in Xinjiang are Uyghur. The internal recruitment drive in Xinjiang that requires applicants to be "politically legitimate" and atheist is only aimed at teachers, and those requirements seem likely to exclude Uyghurs one way or another. The reason given in the article why so many teachers are even needed is that many Uyghur teachers have been interned in camps and the government is seeking replacement for them. They also quote Dilxat Raxit, spokesman of the World Uyghur Congress, as saying that the CCP doesn't trust Uyghur policemen to remain loyal in case of a conflict, and therefore prefers recruiting Han Chinese. The announcement in your second link is given as evidence of that, since it's published on the nationwide platform, which would make it more likely to attract Han Chinese than locally within the Kyrgyz autonomous prefecture.
