Man the name really threw me for a minute. Polis is the correct spelling for police in my native Swedish and I got through the first 2 paragraphs wondering what any of this has to do with law enforcement.

Then it dawned on me.

Edit to add: I think the white and blue theme helps. Those are police colours in Sweden...

The name must be taken from Greek.

unsurprisingly, the word police comes from polis
(Jared) Polis is the current governor of Colorado, so I was also confused but in a different direction.
Ditto Scotland.
