This image, which depicts the riot police of the Republic of China (Taiwan), is often cited as an example where policemen use masks to conceal their identities, perhaps during the commission of atrocities. That is purely a misconception as their names would be visible on arm patches. If I recall correctly, the masks were added after an incident in the early 2000s when rioters pelted vials of highly corrosive acid solutions at policemen, causing severe and disfiguring burns.

And yes, while the ugly masks make them look like horror movie characters, they are effective in stopping the acid attacks.

Your police are (usually) a civil service. They would try and maintain order in the civil populace and at best do their jobs. As civil employees of the government, they would probably surrender in event of invasion. They might be left to do their jobs, but it's unlikely if it's a routinely armed unit. Police commanders might be expected by an invader to collaborate.
No helicopter will reasonably carry "tanks", by which I mean MBTs. Few helicopters will carry scout tanks like Scorpion. Most heavy lift helicopters could carry a tankette like the Weisel, but would be better used to carry just troops, or possibly an artillery piece, jeep or light truck.
Civil evacuations would probably be done by military helicopter, diverting logistical units, and seizure of civil assets like buses, coaches and the like, as well as military trucks again probably diverted from logistical units.
A tank is forty, fifty, sixty tonnes of steel. Think of them as ill-equipped bulldozers with a gun.
