The Chinese word **警力** is a compound noun formed through a standard **modifier-head** (or *attributive-center*) structure common in Mandarin. The first character, **警** (jǐng), meaning "police" or "alert," functions as the modifier that specifies the type. The second character, **力** (lì), meaning "strength," "force," or "resources," acts as the head, indicating the core concept. Thus, combined, **警力** literally translates to "police force" or "police strength," referring collectively to the personnel, manpower, and resources available to a police department.
