How do Scottish say police?

According to the http://www.dsl.ac.uk/ the Scots word for Police is Police, its pronunciation is Polis.

en.wiktionary.org - Talk:polis - Wiktionary

For the city-state definition, the IPA and the engPR do not match up for the first vowel. Is one or the other correct? Or perhaps there are two competing pronunciations? (I came specifically to figure this one out, it's not a word I've ever used in speech)

According to the http://www.dsl.ac.uk/ the Scots word for Police is Police, its pronunciation is Polis. Should this have a section under the word "Polis", or merely a pronunciation guide under Police?

Created entry for surname, at Polis. Perhaps someone can help research the Etymology? That'd be most appreciated, -- Cirt (talk) 10:21, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
