I usually used {Hung yaS} 'security officer' to refer to the police, but maybe {qopwI'} 'arrester' is an idea, too. - André 2016-10-31 19:31 GMT+01:00 mayqel qunenoS <mihkoun@gmail.com>:
Numerous times I wondered how to say "police" in klingon. The best solution I could think of was {qopmeH 'obe'}.

Klingon word: qop Part of speech: verb Definition: arrest
AFAIK never used in a sentence.
And I see no evidence in Star Trek that Klingons have any kind of permanent police force, though suspects are taken into custody and courts are convened to try them.
So perhaps {qop} is used in the more general sense of the word "arrest," causing motion or some other process to be halted. One might then say ?{HachchoHghach qoplu'bogh} for arrested development.
