Oooh, now you're getting me started. "COPS"isms just piss me off.
The phrase "rate of speed" is one of my favorites. Rate of speed!? "He was proceeding down the thoroughfare at a high rate of speed." == "He was driving fast down the street."
Oh, and "At this time". What's wrong with "now"? Speeches that start with "At this time I would like to..." can be at least seven words shorter.
