99.9% of the time, I simply call them by their first name.
I know almost all the police I talk to, and 99.9% of the conversations have nothing to do with me breaking a law. Most of the time it's something like, "what's up? How many miles did you get in on the bike yesterday when I saw you?"

The other .1% of the time, it's officer or sir.

to my friends? it depends on the circumstances.

if the cops were being stupid, it's usually something pretty insulting.

I've only talked to a couple face to face but I didn't call them anything.

Between friends, pigs.
