Mr. Akkad
TEFL, TESOL Certified English teacher teacherThe word "police" refers to the collective body of law enforcement officers or the organization itself, so it should be used with the plural form of the verb "are." Example "The police are investigating the robbery that occurred last night."
The police "are" as it is in plural form meaning that it is more than 1 person
it would be police "are" just as we say people are.
