In Wales you will see Heddlu for police. The "dd" is pronounced like the "TH" in "that". The trailing "u" is pronounced like "ee" in English. It is an actual Welsh word. The Irish word for police is póilíní. The translation for "garda" in Irish is "guard" in English. There is a linguistic difference. I'm not certain if there is a functional distinction to the Irish.
