"Ο άντρας είναι αξιωματικός στην αστυνομία."

Translation: The man is an officer in the police force.

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.

what's wrong with saying: the man is a police officer?

[Dimitra956826]

Nothing wrong, as far as I can see. There is no context issue. I added it, thank you. ^.^

No seas malo! Me das como incorrecto " police department"!

[fortynachos]

Is there something wrong with: "The man is an officer at the police station"?

[G.Georgopoulos]

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".

[vlad.calina]

"the man is officer in the police force" was marked wrong, is the article mandatory here?

[mizinamo]

It is in English.
