Inform on someone
When I say 'She informed on her friend', as I understand, I've already implied the fact that I'm talking about police, but it's really uncomfortable for me not to add the word 'police' itself. The question is, would it be incorrect to say 'She informed on her friend to the police'. If both sentences are correct, which one sound better to you? Thank you.

Either one is OK. "The authorities" is implied, and identified from context - the school authorities, the police, the tax authorities, etc.
