How about: The police have ran a number of investigations over the years. Or The police say they have ran a number of investigations over the years.

"Police said they have run a number of investigations over the years" sounds more correct to me.

Police said they have run a number of investigations over the years.

Neither, if not using quotation marks it must proceed with the word 'that'. As in, Police said that.....
But I am sure that run is present future....as in 'We will run out of money tomorrow'
and that ran is past as in 'We ran out of money yesterday'
you can't say, 'We will ran out of money tomorrow' or 'We run out of money yesterday'
ran=past
run= present/future.

The second - think they ran, they have run.
