By 1846, people in England were using "copper" to describe a police officer. By 1859, the term "copper" was being shortened to "cop." The verb "to cop" dates back hundreds of years in British slang, and it is derived from Old French and Latin roots (capere) meaning to capture. In Britain to this day, "to cop" means catch/seize/capture. I'm guessing Americans started using "cop" in this way later than the British but I don't know for sure. I wasn't aware they really did so until now. In US movies and TV shows, I thought it was rarely used. (Source material: Google.) Anyway, thanks for your interesting post!

Holiday is still called holiday. Vacation is a trip people typically take on the holidays but not always on a holiday. Police and cop are interchangeable in America. Taxi or cab is a bit interchangeable meaning we use either or.

Film doesn't really mean movie because a TV Show is still a Film. Movies are films but of a specific longform and non-serialized format.
