They use that translation to denote what we commonly identify as and translate as "Space Sheriff", which is largely just the accepted fandom translation for Gavan, Sharivan, and Shaider. It should be noted that neither "Space Sheriff" nor "Space Cop" is intended to denote the totality of Metal Heroes, which doesn't always have a single identifying moniker like "Sentai" or "Rider" or even "Ultra".

Metal Heroes was always, by definition, a loose association understood by the robot and/or armor themes the protagonists are known by. "Space Sheriff" started it, but by no means ended it or was intended to imply that everything that followed was part of the "Space Sheriff" series. Winspector is Metal Heroes, but also known as the start of the "Rescue Heroes" trilogy.
