Both consonants naturally have a slight ʊ sound, which is a byproduct of the air bursting past lips.

/pliːz/，而 police 有两个音节：/pəˈliːs/； - please consists of a single syllable:

pʊ，而后者不一样，是p和另外一个元音构成的音节：pə…… - Most importantly, the initial sound in please might be heard as
pʊ, but in police, it's different. It's a syllable composed ofpand another vowel:pə...
