Never.
Stop falling for fake internet meme.
"Police" is derived from the Latin word "politia" which means citizenship or government.

I disagree with you. Your interpretation is for the word ''Politics'" not police

You don't disagree with facts.
Neither you nor the deceiver who created that meme owns the English language.
Next time, do your research before promoting fake memes.

Its not true.

Etymology

First attested in English in the early 15th century, initially in a range of senses encompassing '(public) policy; state; public order', the word police comes from Middle French police ('public order, administration, government'),[7] in turn from Latin politia,[8] which is the Latinisation of the Greek πολιτεία (politeia), "citizenship, administration, civil polity".[9] This is derived from πόλις (polis), "city".[10]

That full meaning is applicable to climes where being a human with a perfect brain is the top requirement for joining the force. In Nigeria, police stands for Punk Officers for Lousy Investigations and Crime Enablement.
