'The man is an officer in the police' was marked wrong. Is it really not an appropriate translation?
Nothing wrong, as far as I can see. There is no context issue. I added it, thank you. ^.^
Marked me wrong for putting "police" without the addition of "force" too. It is acceptable English to just use the word "police" and seems like a reasonable translation of the Greek text.
Is there something wrong with: "The man is an officer at the police station"?
The goal of this course is to help people learn a new language. The fact that one can infer that a police officer has probably something to do with a police station doesn't mean that we should use "police station (=αστυνομικό τμήμα)" as a translation for "αστυνομία".
"the man is officer in the police force" was marked wrong, is the article mandatory here?
