Back home in Edinburgh the word "police" is pronounced pretty much the same way as everywhere else in the UK - something like a single syllable "pleess" but in other parts of Scotland - mostly around Glasgow - it comes out more like "POE-leess".

I would like to point out that in US slang, the "point out someone to the police" meaning of the phrase is antiquated. That usage was from, oh, the 1940's maybe? Today, it would overwhelmingly be understood in the sexual act sense.
