Detailed Solution

Concept: A collective noun may appear singular, yet it refers to a group or collection of people, animals, or things. The term "police" does not refer to a single officer, but rather to a group of officers.
'A pack of wolves,' for example, or a flock of sheep.' We may deduce from both statements that 'Pack' and 'Flock' refer to a group of wolves and sheep, respectively. They sound singular but have the characteristics of a plural noun.
The plural verb 'have' is used with plural nouns. We know that 'police' is a plural noun in the preceding sentence.
The single verb 'has' is used with singular nouns. We know that 'police' is a plural noun in the preceding sentence.
The single verb 'is' is used with singular nouns. We know that 'police' is a plural noun in the preceding sentence.
'Where' is a plural verb that is used in the continuous tense with plural nouns.
Hence, option 1 is correct.
