It's been a long time since the coppers came to call.

I think we better go before the copper comes back.

That copper came in this morning, early, he explained.

Very few coppers ever come across some hard-on that's ready to kill him even if he dies in the process.

Meanwhile, local coppers have come on a car with two dead bodies in it, mugging victims.

In recent years powdered copper has also come into use.

The coppers had already come to a standstill about ten feet behind their leader.

I was keeping watch from the study when that damned copper came back and said he wanted to use the room for interviewing.

Hugh ran toward us, crying out that the coppers were coming.
