When I say cop detector do you think of a radar detector, or a person with very good eyesight? For me, it’s up for grabs as I’ve seen my detector save my ass around a long corner - but at the same time, saw my friend call a cop 2 minutes before we rounded the corner and my detector went off.
Let’s cover both. The definition in my mind of a cop detector could be both, however radar detectors certainly make things easier around blind turns. Always treat your alerts as if they are real. Radar detectors alone have saved me from a lot of mistakes when I’ve been going with the flow of traffic - however you need to know how to read the road as well. Personally I use the Valentine 1 radar detector and I believe it to be one of the best, and I love the directional arrows. Why look forward when the cop is behind you? 
A cop detector as in a person is someone that knows how to read the road and think of cop spots before you get there. Always look at overpasses, on ramps going onto your road, sides of the roads, medians, middle crossovers (tip: look for the “Authorized Personnel Only” signs!) and cars that you pass or pass you. Another tip that I can give you, look at all of the years of crown vics and malibu’s (and chargers depending on where you live) and memorize the HEADLIGHTS. You can see them coming up about 3000 feet back if you’re good.
Use the skills, and protect yourself! Become, a cop detector
