“Police” being the verb in this situation is exactly the problem, just like with actual crime. Like another comment mentioned, this calls more for coaching or mentorship than rule-enforcement and punishment.
Aside: I think we should stop using the word “police” for things that are not law-enforcers/punishers.

It's still up to the teacher how they respond to plagiarism. But if you don't even know your students are plagiarizing, you're hardly in a position to coach them.
