Yes, 'police' is a collective noun. It represents a body of officers acting together. Additionally, unlike many other English collective nouns, 'police' is always used with a plural verb. Simply put, instead of saying 'police is', we say 'police are'.

For example: 

  • The police have arrested the thief.
  • The police are patroling on the streets of New York.
