In general no, but it can depend. Some countries blur the line between police and military, that's when it can get foggy. If a country has a strictly civilian police force that does not take part in combat or training operations with the military, they are typically not valid targets. Just like any other armed civilian not taking part in combat is not a valid target.

I'd say it also depends on if the police open fire on the other force when they get near then their official roll goes out the window they chose to get involved

(...) that does not take part in combat (...)

Just like any other armed civilian not taking part in combat (...)
