Hey there! Good question. The plural form of "police" is, in fact, simply "police."
You see, unlike many other nouns in English, "police" doesn't add an "s" or "es" at the end to indicate plurality. It remains the same whether you're talking about one officer or a whole squad of them.
It's kind of like how the word "sheep" maintains the same form whether you're talking about one sheep or a whole flock of sheep. Or how "fish" is the plural form of "fish" (yes, you read that right – just like how "deer" is both singular and plural).
The reason for this inconsistent pluralization in English is due to the roots of the language itself. English is heavily influenced by Latin, Old English, and a plethora of other languages, leading to a multitude of different rules when it comes to forming plurals.
So there you have it – the plural form of "police" is simply "police." And now you know a little bit more about the quirks and complexities of English grammar!
