I'm a police man vs I'm police

The correct phrase is "I'm a policeman." The first phrase, "I'm a police man," is incorrect because "police" is a collective noun and should not be used with an article like "a." The second phrase, "I'm police," is also incorrect because it is missing the article "a" and the noun form of "police," which should be "policeman."
