What is Peace-officer?
1.
What some cops call themselves to sound more professional, fancier, different, or somehow more important.
-Or because they're ashamed to be policeman.
Also used by those officers who do not want to thought of or referred to as Policemen or Cops.
"When a cop calls himself a Peace-Officer, it's like a garbage-man calling himself a Sanitation-Worker, or a clerk calling herself a Sales-Associate."
"Being a Policeman is an honorable-profession. Nothing is more vital to Public-Safety than the humble street-cop; Be proud of who you are, and of what you do."
