Is it normal for the BE not to show up if not configured ?

Do a "show policy-map interface" to see the defaults.

Brian,
When I type in Police 80000 I do not get defaults ?
!
policy-map jim
class jim
police cir 80000

Group,
As a follow up to my previous post, I did some testing to
illustrate how the burst values of the CAR statement affect the
configured rate.
The following output is from a router connected to the internet
which is policing NNTP traffic (usenet news). I am downloading files
from alt.binaries.sounds.mp3 (for research purposes only of course), and
changing the burst values of the police statement to show the effect.
The goal of our policing is to keep our NNTP traffic at or below 80kpbs.
In the first example, I entered the 'police 80000' statement.
This results in the default values of:
Police 80000 2500 2500 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop
http://www.cyscoexpert.com/adminimages/car4.gif
As you can see from the output, I am averaging a rate of about
30kbps. This is much lower than the expected target rate.
In the next example, the burst values are modified to meet the
recommended formula. The 'police 80000 15000 30000' statement was
entered, which resulted in:
Police 80000 15000 30000 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop
http://www.cyscoexpert.com/adminimages/car3.gif
As you can see from this output, the average rate is in the high
70kbps range, which is very close to our desired target rate.
The calculation for CAR values should therefore be as follows:
Normal_burst bytes = target_rate bps * ( 1 byte / 8 bits ) * 1.5 seconds
Excess_burst bytes = normal_burst * 2
