Current ones: 'the filth', 'the pigs', 'the [old] Bill', 'the fuzz', 'the boys in blue', 'noddy-men', 'the Plod'

All informal; some abusive. There's also a phrase 'the thin blue line' (used as the title of a Rowan Atkinson show, but possibly older). It's a reference to a Kipling line: 'thin red line' (meaning soldiers).
