It may depend on the area, but generally, no, there is not.

However, local police officers are generally considered "Essential employees", meaning that the city will do whatever necessary to ensure that the department is operational. It also boils down to crime-control. If the police department closed at 5 PM every day, then common criminals will wait until 6 PM to commit crimes.

Even if it were the case, officers, even when "off duty", aren't necessarily "off duty". Officers can be called in from home at any time, and possess the same legal authority (for the most part) even while not wearing a uniform.
