What is the form of term 'Police' ?
i want to know how come the idea of police is discovered. Also the full form of this term and from where it is derived.

i believe the one you are referring to is recently derived however i wanted to know the complete history for this term
In the etymology, think of similar words: polis, policy, polity, politics. The word being used for law enforcement originated as a slang term in reference to the government. It's sort of similar to the way people in the US or Mexico refer to federal police as "Feds". A correct title for police would be Law-Enforcement Officers. The word "police" goes back in history as a slang term for a law-enforcement officer representing the local government. It probably emerged among the criminal class and reached the mainstream that way. There are often modern-day slang terms for police in the US, like "cops" (referring to their copper their badges).
