This uniform was worn by police officers circa 1890’s. It is made of wool and had either copper or brass buttons. Museum board member, Dean Christopherson said one theory of where the term COP comes from is that they used to have copper buttons on their uniforms. People would refer to them as coppers from the copper buttons on their uniforms. Photo Credit: Helen H. Richardson, The Denver Post

The Denver Police helicopter in the 1970’s. This was a Bell model 47 of the type used during the Korean war of 1950-52. Those too young to recall that war may remember these from the TV show MASH.

This is a photo of a Denver Police Squad in the early 1900s. Note the “bobby” style helmets, the long top coats and the six pointed badge. Also all those mustaches!. Also take note of the absence of visible side arms.
