Just wondering now, some expressions can be heard a lot, others very rarely... Like the very correct "public servant" expression, representing the humbleness of a samurai, which of course so many of the corrupt police folks don't have... Respect to the exceptions...
How do you call police people? :D

Umm none of the above polite and respectful options when they aren't around. Sorry nice cops, I know you do your jobs well but the ones around my area need to step up!

In general conversation - cops. If I'm talking to them, it'll be officer or sir or ma'am.

Cops - when I mention them in conversations with my husband or friends; Officers - when I talk about them in front of my son (got to show some respect).

"Police"..
04/17/2012
Police. I had heard that "cop" is derogatory. While I don't know if it's true, I like to treat people with respect, even though they or may not respond accordingly.

We use the more average terms (cops, 5-0, etc), and for the most part they're interchangable. When joking around, (though not in front of kids) we might say something along the lines of "anyone else smell bacon?"
