Officer?

Here's another English language puzzle that I can't figure out: Why are policemen called "officer?" They're not working inside an office. Is a police car an office?

Oh..you simple mind you... :p

"Police Officer" and that is my final answer.

It's the whole military influence. When someone wants to be a cop, they must first become a cadet and then they graduate to "officer" and then up the chain of command...Did you not take a Civics class at any of the fine MI institutions of higher ed that you attended? :p
