According to one reliable source, the word “cop” (meaning “capture”) is documented to have been used as early as 1704. “Copper” for a British policemen was not used until after 1828.
It’s likely that the “copper buttons” or “copper badge” explanation for the word was not the original one. A “copper” was someone who “copped” suspects.

It isn’t an acronym; it’s short for ‘copper’ – meaning someone who cops, or grabs, suspected criminals.
