Thanks for the replies.
I reported to police about my stolen car.
I reported to the police about my stolen car.
Which one is correct? I am not sure whether to use the article 'the' here.
I know, for some strange reason, police is always plural. Army and navy are singular.

Thanks MrPedantic
I just want to know why it is necessary to have the article.
Police have found the thieves. We don't say police has found the thieves.

Public bodies like the army, the government and the police usually take "the".
You might see "police" without a definite article in newspapers' headlines.
But it is not grammatical. They do so just to economize the space.
