Copper origin traced to 1858 Chicago police uniform
Historian A T Andreas ties the slang copper for police to Chicago in 1858 when John C Haines as mayor adopted a blue frock coat nicknamed the copper stock coat. A brass star replaced the leather medal, and the force was called coppers. The 1833 Tribune note and Lloyd Lewis link the nickname to copper stock exploits.
