Short form of "out-of-uniform police officer"?

I want to know a short form of out-of-uniform police officer.

Is a "narc" possible?

Or any other words?

Thank you.

It's not a short form, but we say 'a plain-clothes police officer'.. One who pretends not to be a police officer is 'an under-cover officer'. A 'narc' is an under-cover clothes officer who works in the area of narcotics, often by pretending to be a drug addict or dealer himself.

A good topic!

Guys, what do we call a police car that doesn't look like a police car? is it just an undercover police car? there are ordinary cars that often follow speeding pirates just to fine the drivers in the end
