Date: 16/2/09 09:26 am (UTC)P. H. EMERSON Signor Lippo xviii. 87 If the rozzers was to see him in bona clobber they'd take him for a gun.
In the context of two Polari terms (bona and clobber; possibly gun="thief" as well), I'm wondering if rozzer might also be of Polari origin, and have passed into more general slang usage (like naff).

Date: 16/2/09 12:56 pm (UTC)L. J. JENNINGS in Croker Papers II. xiv. 17 Frequently when the constables made their appearance..they were hooted and insulted, mobs following them crying out ‘crusher’, ‘raw lobster’, ‘Bobbies’, and ‘Peelers’.
In such a list of slang terms for policemen at this time, including two probably derived from Robert Peel's name, it is perhaps surprising that rozzer is not included, if it is indeed of similar origin to those other two.
