Police Slang

What the police really mean when they talk about us, or themselves. This book will inform, entertain and perhaps even help when next accosted by the boys in blue.The language used by our police is both very funny, very scurrilous and very revealing. It reveals all kinds of attitudes towards “civilians”, towards different police branches and towards themselves, from DWE (… Driving While Elderly) and the many rather less than flattering terms that coppers use for civilian Police Community Support Officers (eg: CHIMPS – Can’t Help In Most Police Situations).When you start reading the entries you begin to see how police, men and women, really think, the pressures they are under and the way the service operates in today’s world.
