The term Po Po comes from the early 60's during the cold war between the U.S. and Russia.....it was a slang term referring to the investigative officers who worked for the Politbureau....the highest power in the nation.......Politbureau Police or Po Po's as agents for the U.S. and Britain were highly respected for their investigative and policing skills as well as how someone could be made to disappear when they needed it. Many of the older terms for police stem from code names and secret speak words starting back in the late 40's just after WW2 finished and the secret agents were starting to come into play on all sides.

A word commonly used today to refer to the police.
It originated in a few ways. The one I know is that Tupac used punk-police in a few of his songs, and people mistook it as Popo.
"Runnin' from all these punk police..." -Tupac
He says it fast and it sounded like popo.

A group of government hired, badly trained but well paid gangsters who project their anger towards the citizens.
They are so called HONG KONG POLICE FORCE
The main reason why they being called popo is that it sounds like a dog name and they behave like dogs with rabies.

(Hong Kong police coming out on the streets.)
Citizens: FUCK THE POPO
RESIDENTS: FUCK OFF YOU KILLERS AND RAPISTS
Popo: (barks) (firing tear gas and rubber bullets)
