"Mmmmmmm......Donuts!" - Homer Simpson
We even offered an idea of not making fat-boy uniforms but that got shot down too. They ran our butts off in our academy and then had no follow up routine to maintain so 1/3 of guys ballooned and looked like crap in their uniforms. Psychologists have theories that hardened criminals are less likely to resist or assault in shape officers but the higher ups were afraid of the potential lawsuits for discrimination.

A fat officer does not inspire respect....from anyone.
Well our police forces all over America are becoming more militarized. Install height and weight standards similar to the military. Problem solved. Want to be a cop, hit the gym butterball!
Interesting. Few, if any, foot posts in LA. The officers are tied to their cars.
In the Coen brother’s movie “Raising Arizona” the character played by Tex Cobb tells the wealthy guy who has had his child kidnapped, “The only thing a cop can find is a donut shop.”
As a compulsive overeater I can say for certain that none of the seriously overweight cops will pay attention to the dietian in the long run.
A lack of dietary information is not at the center of the problem.
Think AA.
Any way to make dunkin donuts off limits?
fewer donuts?
Get them out of their Black&Whites and walking the streets...it’s more effective policing and keeps ‘em in better shape.
From what I’ve seen in the rest of the country, I’d say departments in California, including LAPD, have the most physically fit of any state. Not to mention, the best trained.
