She was one of these 'in your face copper' type women
what is the meaning of this expression ?
Thanks
So, to further freezeframe's explanation, 'in your face copper' type women are women who are likely to exclaim, "In your face, copper!" or something similar. This exclamation expresses their attidude toward police.
Police officers do sometimes use the term - there's a well-known policeman's blog called the Copper's Blog. Maybe they prefer it to the ruder alternatives that are commonly used.
