Cops and police vehicles
Did you know that the word ‘cop’ was originally a slur? Many people think that it's an abbreviation of ‘constable on patrol’, but actually a ‘copper’ is slang for somebody who captures someone or something. It comes from the Latin ‘capere’, meaning ‘to seize’.
A police force is a group of people assigned and paid by a government to prevent crime and enforce the government’s laws. Police officers often wear a special uniform so that you can recognize them (unless they are working undercover, of course, which means it’s essential NOT to be recognized as a law enforcement officer!). They are frequently armed, and they have special vehicles with sirens. There are police cars and vans, search helicopters, and small planes. There are also cops on horseback, camelback, motorcycles, mountain bikes, standing scooters, speedboats, and even rollerblades! It all depends on what is the most practical way to move about quickly within the area where each officer works. In crowded, narrow city streets, for instance, a bike or rollerblades might be the quickest way to pursue a thief on the run.
