The U.S. Constitution does not delegate police powers. The power of police departments are defined at the town, county, and state levels, not at a federal level. The powers of federal police forces like the U.S. Marshalls are defined in law by Congress, but these are not defined in the Constitution. The U.S. Constitution does cover military/war powers of the United States Government.
The only time the Constitution may impact the power of police is when it comes to obeying Federal Laws. The U.S. Constitution specifically defines that federal law is "law of the land", meaning that federal ALWAYS supersedes local and state law.
