Informal slang describing behavior, appearance, or mannerisms that are characteristic of a police officer. Someone acting coplike might be overly authoritative, suspicious of everyone, stiff and formal, or just giving off that unmistakable law-enforcement vibe even in civilian clothing. It can be used neutrally or critically depending on context — sometimes it's just an observation, other times it's an accusation that someone is acting like a narc or killjoy at a party.
