I've been all over Canada and the U.S. and police officers are often big and fat. It's an exception to see a trim, smart-looking cop. Why is that? Do we think that the bigger, the stronger, the better protected we'll be? There are a lot of peaceful countries that have more stream-lined cops.

Not that they like it that way. The police just get fat by eating donuts&coffe. On the other hand there are some cool movie cops, they're not fat. ;)

You have "fat" lawyers, doctors, etc... You have heavy people in every profession.
Being a police officer is a very stressful job, with long hours and not the best pay. Poor eating habits due to hours contribute.
Many Personal agility tests are getting stricter during the hiring process, so people will have to get into shape. Raises are based on numerous things INCLUDING personal fitness.
Let's have a little respect for those who go out and protect you so you can sleep in peace at night!

Fat cops are irrelevant if you want to reduce crime. I personally don't see a lot of "fat" cops albeit I do live in Canada. But everyone has their own definition of fat, if someone sees a little pudge in the stomach that's "fat" for some people.

properly, we eat, lots, additionally, over the final couple of hundred years, we've had no famine or cases of real prefer as europe has, and we inject all varieties of hormones in our pork and cattle. So in fact we are all circuitously on roids. And the mentality has lots to do with it, all huge people have a tricky guy mantality which produces extra testosterone, they think of they are the main important baddest bull anbd therfore have extra try to strengthen extra. Blame John Wayne, you in no way see a huge extensive meek guy who's terrified of his shadow. So that's in basic terms a hypothesis, it could have some certainty in it although. We additionally all drink milk, do europens drink milk like we do? Do they use strengthen hormones like loopy?

You should watch out for the 'fat' cops. They're the ones that will shoot you rather than run after you.
I'm not a cop and trust me, I wouldn't run after anyone, that's why I'd have a gun, it's faster than you. lol.

Who would you rather have fighting off a criminal for you, a small skinny man or a big strong man/woman? Perhaps its not so good for foot pursuits but that's what police cars are for.

Long hours, fast foods, poor exercise. But it is the same in many other countries...Scotland, Italy, Germany, there are few exceptions...it is the life style.
