Cop Slang by POLICE Magazine

What is Cop-Slang?

Law enforcement has a language all its own, and that language can be confusing. Sometimes the terms and slang used by one agency’s officers is incomprehensible to officers a few miles away. That’s why PoliceMag.com is offering you this special forum for sharing law enforcement slang and terminology.

This special dictionary allows you, the readers of POLICE Magazine to add terms, definitions, and explain where and how those terms are used.

Note: Some of these terms are vulgar and some are offensive.
