Is its population counted in NYC's population? Does it have its own government and police force seperate from NYC. Is it under NYC at all?

Yes Brooklyn is one of the boroughs of NYC. Although at one time it was a separate city from New York. It has its own borough government, but falls under the authority of NYC.
