The use of the word copper for police predates the use of copper(the metal) in NYPD badges. Cop is a verb it means to capture. Copper would be a person who captures. This is the accepted entomology for its use as "police"

Actually Torch39 is close to the correct answer. In the early days of the NYPD the Patrolmen wore Copper shields (Badges for the layperson). This caused them to be called "Copper(s)" and shortened to "Cop(s)". The reason I know this is true.. I'm in the NYPD and when I went through the academy they had a big display window with a timeline history of the NYPD. I remember lining up waiting for our gym blocks reading the timelines. So there you go!
