Nickname for British Police...

Does anyone know a derogatory nickname for British Police beyond the stereotypical "Bobbies"? I know The Bill, but if anyone has other nicknames, particularly when it comes from the Black British community, I'd appreciate it. I need it for my Yardies script.

I just finished Patrick Neate's "City of Tiny Lights." In it, main protagonist Tommy Akhtar -- a private-dick Brit of Indian extraction whose father emigrated from Uganda to escape Idi Amin -- is upbraided by his cab-company-owning brother for his investigations and how they brought "the filth" sniffing around.
