Yeah. Weird that everyone else is saying no!! Its actually an english slang term!! We said it in devon where i grew up, AND in london where i now live- cops and coppers, as well as the bill, the old bill, and pigs.
We're a polite and respectful nation, ha ha.      ; )

theres even a tv programme about to start on tv in a sec called Coppers- one of tjose follow people around w a camera things- its a common term, but maybe only in
southern england??
