Police operation
I've always taken this to mean simply a "police operation", possibly a "raid" as suggested above, though it could also apply to "un operativo / despliegue policial" in the event of a catastrophe, major event, attack...etc.
Peer comment(s):
| agree |
Daniel Burns (X)
: Or "law enforcement operation", which can be things other than raids.

coordinated police action
In most LA countries, this usually refers to a coordinated raid or search process among several law enforcement bodies when an immediate result is sought. However, it could also apply to one police department, though it's not that common.

law enforcement operation
"Raid" is a tad too restrictive when speaking of the various types of operations police agencies may perform.
