Cheese¹ - A reference to a figure of authority. 
Ex) At jams, "cheese" is called out to quickly warn traceurs and freerunners close by that a cop may be passing by or watching.

Cheese! When you smell them, it's obvious that they'll be watching you, and dealing with them can turn anything from fun to disastrous. Here are some tips with dealing the boys in blue.

For every jam, avoiding cheese is the best way to keep the jam going. At any moment, any pedestrian could be passing by and giving a small tip to them and they'll be heading over in no time.

1. Avoid breaking any local laws and ground rules!
   Any monkey with a brain knows that breaking a law will get you into more trouble than you're looking for. What could you be doing at a jam to break a law in the first place? Think before acting!
2. Try not to trespass!
   If you happen to see a great area to train, ask for permission first. It's most likely to be called on when a property owner sees you on their land. They don't know that you're doing if you haven't given them a heads up.
3. Never run from them!
   The worst thing to do when you see an officer is to run from them. Running gives them suspicion that you're doing something that normal everyday people don't do.

In every situation, there's possibly no way of always avoiding cops. Here's several ways of handling them.

1. Always be respectful!
   The boys in blue are just doing their job. It's their responsibility to keep our communities safe and when it's disturbed, they show up to investigate what is going on. Stay calm and relaxed. If they ask you to leave the area, premises, or campus, go ahead and move on. It's easy to find another great spot for training.
2. Answer their questions!
   Don't panic because they're questioning you, they're just trying to see what you're up to. Answer their questions truthfully.
3. Avoid putting parkour and freerunning in bad light!
   Answer this, are you actually doing parkour? No! You're practicing it, so avoid telling the cops that you're "doing parkour." Simply tell them, you're drilling on specific moves that you enjoy doing.
