El policía

[Tyrn]

Hi,

El policía means the police officer; la policía means the police as an institution. What about the female police officer?

[Rusty]

el policía = policeman (police officer who is male)
la policía = policewoman (police officer who is female)
la policía = police officers, collectively (the institution/department/force)

I agree with Rusty.

Sometimes to clarify, you might hear "la mujer policía". :)
