Police = plural noun - The police are coming!

Policy/policies = Accepted method(s) of attaining organzational goals. - It is a policy of this store that no money will be refunded to a customer without a receipt.
You found a typographical error. One of the funniest I ever heard of was in a newspaper article about a gunfight about 1890 between prostitutes in the American Old West. The journalist wrote that "...the bullet entered just above the public arch." The correct spelling was, of course, "pubic". Both words aptly described the incident quite well.
