Which says nothing to show your contention that the term "cop" was derived from Conservator of the Peace. It may have been but you have not shown it and my guess is equally possible.
did you miss my comment that the VA State Police Training Manual,edition of 1999 says that is where the term "cop", came from. (so does the syllabus of the PASP)
go argue with them, PLEASE!
