Is it always "el policia" or is there "la policia" "el policia" "los policia"?
In English we have the police (plural) or policeman and policewoman to indicate and individual. Is it the same in Spanish?

Normally:
el policía - policeman
la mujer policía - policewoman
la policía - the police

NO ken, thing is the la policía refers to the police force, so to avoid confusion we use mujer policía.

Yes, there is never El Policío- it's always Policía and you just change the el or la. If you want to learn more, see Learn Spanish 2.1- Professions and Questions.

¿La mujer policía? isn't that like calling a female football player La mujer fútbolista instead of just La fútbolista?

El policia = the police man. La policia = the police woman.
