Answer 2

The correct answer should be "The police are running after the thief"  because "police" is a plural noun, and therefore requires a plural verb.

• In subject-verb agreement the subject of a sentence must agree with its verb in number either singular or plural.

• In the sentence "The police are running after the thief," here the "police" is the subject and it is a plural noun, so the verb "are" which is also plural agrees with it.

• It's important to note that even though "police" refers to a group of individuals, it is treated as a singular noun in some contexts.
• For example, when we say "The police department is located downtown" because the department as a whole is been referred here.
• Here, the focus is on the police officers who are actively catching the thief so the plural verb "are" to indicate that it's a group of people in action is used .
