"Police" is not an acronym. It isn't short for anything.
According to "Allexperts.com":
The word 'police' stems from the Greek word 'politeia' meaning, state, administration, government.
In Chaucer's Canterbury Tales we find the word 'policie' meaning organized government, civil administration. Later in about 1589 we find the French word 'policer' meaning to keep order. The first recorded use in English of 'police' in specific reference to those concerned with enforcing the law and maintaining public order is found in about 1730 in Scotland.
