Perché è feminine?

Polícia is feminine because it derives from Latin "politia," which comes from Greek "politeia" (πολιτεία), and Latin nouns ending in "-ia" are typically feminine—a pattern that Portuguese retained. The word originally referred to the administration or governance of a city-state, and the feminine gender followed naturally from this Latin etymological inheritance.
