'Police' in the Bible

So Judas, getting a band of armed men and police from the chief priests and Pharisees, went there with lights and with arms.

Then the band and the chief captain and the police took Jesus and put cords round him.

Now the servants and the police had made a fire of coals because it was cold; they were warming themselves in front of it and Peter was there with them, warming himself.

When he said this, one of the police by his side gave him a blow with his open hand, saying, Do you give such an answer to the high priest?

So when the chief priests and the police saw him they gave a loud cry, To the cross! to the cross! Pilate said to them, Take him yourselves and put him on the cross: I see no crime in him.
