Alternative word to "お[巡]{まわ}りさん"?


I do not like the word "お巡りさん" because it sounds おこちゃま. I doubt an adult would
say such a word.

  * What is an alternative word to say for "お巡りさん"?
  * In daily conversation, can I say 警察者{けいさつしゃ} instead of "お巡りさん"?
  * In daily conversation, can I say 警察官{けいさつかん} instead of "お巡りさん"?




You can just use 警官. I think this is very common to use. You could also use
刑事（さん）, but this specifically means "detective", so it's not usable for every
type of patrolman that you see.
