I would say it's "fewer" not "less", but every time I do, I get a lecture and downvoted.
Even though this time it's quite clearly a case where "fewer" is the proper choice as "cop" is most definitely a countable noun (yes, I know there are exceptions, this is generally not one.)
Bring on the downvotes.

You can count numbers? How many are there?
