Although it isn't really cyberpunk (it isn't hi-tech enough nor gritty
enough), one good book that speculates about mid-21st century police work is
"The Doppleganger Gambit" by Lee Killough.  It is really a police procedural
novel set in the near future, but the setting is very well realised.  For
example, the police are called LEO's (Law Enforcement Officers), and the
implications of this permiate the novel nicely [Member of a street gang to a
female leo: "Here pussy, pussy, pussy"].  Recommended both for the bakcground
and as a novel,
