The question is not worded well.
(In the broad sense) The power of the police is derived from the authority of the Executive Branch of government (of which the police are a part) to enforce the laws and regulations enacted by the Legislative Branch of Government.
(In a more narrow sense) Police power is confined by the jurisdiction in which they are employed or assigned. (for example: City A's police cannot go to County B's jurisdiction and exercise their authority).
Police power can be determined by the laws in this order: federal, state, and local. However, while people may think it may overrule personal rights to privacy, it truly doesn't. One must understand all of the laws of the city they are located in or the situation they believe they were wronged by.
