WHERE DID THE TERM 'COPS' COME FROM?
When the first police force began to patrol New York City in the summer of 1845, they only badges on their civilian clothing. The badges were 8 pointed stars with the seal of the City at the center and were made of stamped copper. The newspapers of the time referred to the new force as the 'Star Police' but people seeing the shiny copper shields began to call the new force 'Coppers' which was later shortened to 'Cops.' There is also a British police term; Constable On Patrol which may account for the term 'cops' in England as well.

I just looked that because it didn' sound right i found a site saying in originates from 1700 and others one of the options is what u have put above also a Constable On Patrol. Also the one which seems to be the oldest is slang reffering to to get ahold of, catch, capture.
