Rick knows. It's obvious in the way he handled to guys in the bar. He put lead in their skulls. You're already infected, just have to die first. Probably what the dude at the CDC told him, and why he chose to opt out.

My guess is the police officers died of starvation. There were empty cans of food on the ground when they walked about the water department facilities. Telling me it was possibly all gone.
