Spanish term or phrase: policía (HERE, please see the context)
Se trata de un certificado de notas de la carrera "fotografo-camarógrafo de tv y servicios publicitario"

La asignatura de llama:

Imagen , espectáculos y policía

No creo que en este contexto se pueda poner simplemente "police", porque no tendría sentido me parece.

Gracias por las sugerencias.

I can't figure it out either. Does it refer to the law enforcement issues surrounding film making, i.e while the films are being made or to the representation of police in films or to legal aspects of film making etc. ?
I guess the only thing you can do is translate the ambiguity.

detective shows


Explanation:
Given your context, I think you need to indicate that they are shows. In English, the standard term is "detective show."
