cops


Explanation:
In Chile the cops are called "pacos" (formal name: "Carabineros de Chile")

Maybe that's where they take off their guns.

In the context of this and your other question this all looks rather strange, more context would sure help.

The above is the only translation I know of \"pacos\" and it is specific to one country, Chile.
