Here in the UK our Police Constables are called many things!\nThey do not carry guns, unless they have to, and gun crime is relatively rare. Gun ownership is rare too.\nTheir nicknames are all fairly obvious:\n- copper, cop - the old Eglish word 'cop' means to apprehend.\n- the Sweeney - rhyming slang, from Sweeney Todd (an infamous serial killer) rhyming with 'Flying Squad' (an old name for a specialised unit of police).\n - see the link below.

You are kidding right?\n\nIllegal = against the law\nAgainst the law = criminal.\n\nThey broke the law crossing the border illegally.  Whether for a good reason or not, it is still criminal conduct...

Those are the kind of cops that give all police officers a bad name.  It's very unprofessional to use four-letter words (it's one thing if you slip once in a while, but if every sentence out of your mouth is BLEEP this and BLEEP that and what the BLEEP, that's a different BLEEPin' story).

Paddy is slang for the policemen or bobbies as they are more popularly known, and whack, well, that still means exactly what it did then. So, I'm thinking a whack from a policeman.

Police has origins from the Old French word policie.  It has also been derived from Late Latin roots, Latin, and Greek.  In short it has Indo-European roots.

It is when a mayor, governer, or President oders the military to act as police officers to disrupt riots, looting, and violence in order to gain control of a situation that has gotten out of control. Sort of like New Orleans after the Hurricanes. But, the miiltary did not have arrest powers. They were there as a watch dog to discourage violence and looting.

It simply means 'sergeant in a city' police force.\n..I am only guessing when I add, that this designation may diffentiate a 'sergeant in city' [who will be serving under an inspector] from a sergeant in a rural locale - who would be possibly invested with extra powers, as there might not be an inspector to directly supervise him !

It means we place trust and confidence in police officers that we don't place in other people... just because they are police officers.  It means we expect them to behave in a trustworthy and capable manner, just because they are cops.  It has to do with the expectations we have of our uniformed officers... just because they wear the uniform.

It is a word used in Venezuela.\n\nIt basicaly means that something is done in a way that is dishonest, decietful, or with trickery. \n\nBut it has very wide semantics.

Mopery.  It's what you can be charged with when they can't think of a real crime.  Basically, mopery means you can be arrested for being an a$$hole.

It's from an agency that still uses "10 Codes" and can mean anything, depending on where you live. Even some agencies within the same jurisdiction don't apply the same meanings. In the context you've written, I'm guessing it's the 10-code for arrest or detention,(10-15 = arrest, x 3 means they arrested 3 ppl) but it could be warrant checks, officers on scene or something like that. For example, our agency uses "10-10" to say there's a fight but a neighboring agency uses 10-50. Ask the local agency for a list of their 10- code. It's not secret, so they should give it to you.

Well 5-0 means police. It came from a show I'm sure old farts remember Hawaii 5-0. And 4-20 is the national day for smoking weed (pot, Mary J, Buddha, chronic,wacky weed, marijuana). some people claim it is because the California police use this code for an arrest. but apparently the term predates the California police usage. \nhmmmm another one. 411. information from the telephone. hmmm maybe i'm getting old to i can't think of anymore.

It means an enlisted sailor as opposed to an officer.  It comes from the early british uniform worn by enlisted sailors.

Not necessarily. Most agencies will send a statewide or regional message to all agencies reporting that they are looking for the child regardless of their age. They will put his/her description out to other agencies in the form of a BOLO or Be on the look out for......They may not start an actual "man-hunt" until the 24 hours are up but they are getting the information out there to other agencies. It is the same concept as the Amber Alert except the Amber Alert is for the public and the BOLO's are for law enforcement personnel.

as compared to our "normal" police force?\n\ncompare:  both are enlisted to control mobs and maintain order.\ncontrast:  a hired mercenary knows his trade.  Our "badge and gun" officers don't care.  Unfortunately, we have too many "badge and guns" walking their beat.
