"Bear in the Air" is a reference to a police chopper.

* Bizzies: Common Liverpool slang term for the police, it was invented as the police where always too "busy" to help.

* Bluebottle: A British term for policeman that may have derived from Cockney rhyming slang, (see also Bottles).

This word first appeared in the early 18th century, and can be matched with the word "cap", which has the same meaning and whose etymology can be traced to the Latin word 'capere'. (The word retains this meaning in other contexts: teenagers "cop a feel" on a date, and they have also been known to "cop an attitude".) Variation: Copper. It is also believed that the term Copper was the original, unshortened word, popularly believed to represent the copper badges American officers used to wear at the time of origin, but in fact probably used in Britain to mean "someone who cops" long before this.

* Pigs: This term was widespread during the 19th century, disappeared for a while, but reappeared during the early 20th century, and was used during the 1960s in the underground hippy culture. Oz magazine showed a picture of a pig dressed as a policeman on a front cover. [1]

* Po-po: A term used commonly by North American youth and rap artists. The term most likely is just an abbreviation of the word police. Used frequently by youths in the UK, due to the influence of American rap artists.

* Penelope's: A slang word for the police term coined by the SF Bay Area rap artist E-40
