Two things about the bizzies, like.

i) Since when has it been BBC policy to refer to "the p'lice" rather than "the police"? Sort it out you slack-jawed estuary scum.

ii) On the other hand, "polis" is a wonderful word. However, I'm unsure of pronunciation or origin. Any clues, oh internet sages and onions?
