In fiction, it's much more probable that you'll see cops eating a donut than anyone else, except for Homer Simpson. The cops guarding your jail cell are often seen dunking their donut with pink frosting or similar in their cup of coffee. The cops in the stakeout may have a half-empty box of donuts in their car. When taking a break from driving, they commonly hang out at the donut shop. In more humorous displays, the cops might react to a donut as Scooby-Doo would to a scooby snack. Donuts may be the defining motivation for them to have joined the force. In fact, "Officer Donut" is a casual insult for a cop. These police characters might be so obsessed that they could be bribed to do anything for donuts. In actuality, the historic association between police officers and donuts is less insulting and Makes Sense In Context for practical reasons. Cops will usually consume lots of coffee, because it's necessary for them to stay awake during the night, and the donut pairs well as a sweet to dunk in coffee or to remove its bitter aftertaste. Donuts are also ready-made, boxed for easy storage, do not melt or get inedible when old, and tend to be both filling and cheap. And since bakers want to have a fresh batch ready to sell every morning, donut shops tend to open very early, and some stay open all night. For a while, they were among the few places open for someone working the graveyard shift. Donut shops also tend to give out free donuts to law enforcement, partly as a public service and partly to encourage cops to hang around (and robbers to stay away). As donuts are fattening sweets, the cop munching them is commonly portrayed as a fat, lazy, mustachioed Obstructive Bureaucrat. Strangely, these cops never get glaze or frosting in their mustache. As for Dirty Cops, just remember that Evil Tastes Good — as do donuts. And Rabid Cops might scarf them down with excessive zeal and no restraint, the same way they do their job. But if this trope brought into positive portrayals, especially as Cowboy Cops, a cop who munches donuts or other desserts voraciously can be sometimes portrayed as a Genius Sweet Tooth. If the cops are anthropomorphic animals, they may be portrayed as a pig, since this works well as a reference to both pigs' reputation as animals that eat a lot and a Visual Pun of "pig" as derogatory slang for the police. While this might be Truth in Television, it could probably be seen today as an Evolving Trope. If anything, a cop might be hesitant in buying donuts because of the inevitable stigma associated with them. On the other hand, The Red Stapler effect comes into play. On their first round, a rookie might buy some donuts for the station, believing that all cops love them. But then, everyone does, so it's fair. They might subvert this trope by eating different kinds of sweets instead, like cupcakes or brownies. It should be noted that this is primarily an American/Canadian based trope, as donuts are nowhere near as popular with the police in many other countries. While donuts are fairly popular in the United Kingdom, British Coppers tend to go for chips (which is to say in American, French fries) instead, and Filipino cops have a thing for pancit, the name given to several Chinese-inspired but locally-cooked noodle dishes. |

Hitman: Blood Money extends this trope to FBI agents. A difficult mission that tasks you to assassinate a man under heavy FBI guard (he's in the witness protection program), and by far the easiest way to accomplish this is to plant a pack of donuts injected with anesthetic (or poison, if you're feeling mean) outside the unmarked FBI surveillance-van, knock on the door, and run away. The FBI-agent pops out, goes "Ooooh, donuts! Score!" and then proceeds to share them with his partner... leaving you with a conveniently closeable surveillance-truck where you can check out the cameras, and safely change into your brand-new FBI-uniform. If you don't leave the donuts and knock, the FBI agents will eventually steal them from the catering truck on their own. A small lampshade hanging also occurs if you hide at the side of the van, you see a pair of feet below the vans backdoors and hear "Ooooh donuts! Nice... Full disclosure: We're actually FBI". Absolution plays it straight by having one of the ways the player can make a cop disguise more convincing to the NPCs to eat donuts out of a box left laying around. The scene is spoofed by Harry Partridge in this animation where our Master of Disguise is not the cop, but one of the donuts! |

In the expansion Blue Shift you play as a security guard; not quite a police officer, but close enough. At the beginning of the game, where you can wander around some areas of the complex for a bit before all hell breaks loose, one of the scientist NPCs might say "Shouldn't you be guarding some coffee and doughnuts right about now?" | |

In one of the many conversations you can have with people in Scarface: The World Is Yours, Tony asks the Crockett and Tubbs wannabes what sort of donuts they like. They both indignantly react to such accusations, but "Crockett" sheepishly admits to liking powdered donuts. One of the missions has Tony wanting to buy a donut shop. The owner agrees to sell, but only if he can get rid of the cops who are always trying to get free donuts and coffee from him. Tony hijacks a police car and leads them on a chase that proves lethal for the cops. |

Half-Life: In the expansion Blue Shift you play as a security guard; not quite a police officer, but close enough. At the beginning of the game, where you can wander around some areas of the complex for a bit before all hell breaks loose, one of the scientist NPCs might say "Shouldn't you be guarding some coffee and doughnuts right about now?" Before that, you're required to go to the gun range to pick up your sidearm. In the range are two fellow security guards: a regular "Barney" guard near the entrance, using the range for its intended purpose, and a fat "Otis" one way in the opposite corner, hiding there to eat a donut. Black Mesa: Blue Shift, a Fan Remake of the aforementioned expansion, further alludes to this with the recurring character of Otis. An anecdote from fellow security guard Murdoch suggests he'll treat himself to a donut even if it's been dropped on the floor. |

In an early scene in RoboCop 3, a rather pathetic hoodlum charges into a donut shop to hold the place up, and is suddenly covered in glowing red dots. He looks around in confusion and belatedly notices all the uniformed police officers/customers pointing their laser-sighted guns at him. This was even lampshaded by the clerk sarcastically commenting to the hood, "So what's it like being a rocket scientist?" Then the main plot kicks in, and they leave him just standing there, pleading "Isn't someone going to arrest me?" | |

She's offended until he explains exactly why cops eat donuts, pretty much the same as in the page description. She grudgingly accepts this and tells him which car they're in. (She says that she prefers granola bars herself — similar advantages but healthier.) Harry likes doing this to Murphy. In "Something Borrowed", the following dialogue ensues: |

Rare British example: The Ankh-Morpork City Watch, in the Discworld novels. Captain Vimes has a doughnut at Harga's House of Ribs in Men at Arms (and describes the recipe in full, to express his annoyance at Harga's literal-minded response to his asking for coffee "black as midnight on a moonless night"). In Thud!, it's mentioned that Sergeant Colon and the ex-Watchmen who come in to chat with him get through a lot of doughnuts, but it's worth it for the information. In Night Watch it's mentioned that one of the reasons Ankh-Morpork-trained watchmen are held in such high regard is that they don't accept bribes, apart from the occasional free beer and doughnut. And in Unseen Academicals, one character refers to the Watch being annoyed about breaking up a riot because it would be keeping them from the doughnut shop. Of course, while Discworld is a British creation, it takes its tropes from everywhere. But for the most part, Watch members prefer foreign takeout, partly because that's what usually comes with coffee in the setting, but this is a British trope: British Coppers working the night-shift often end up grabbing something to eat from a Chinese takeaway or a kebab shop because they're usually the last place on the high street to close for the night. |

Grand Theft Auto: In the first game, there's a mission where you had to kill a group of cops who are all parked outside a donut shop. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City: A variation using soldiers: Also, the radio dispatcher on the emergency radio asks: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas has a few examples. During the mission "Reuniting the Families", two bike cops drop their snack to join the chase. The camera focuses on the ground where the donuts drop. Also, the first two C.R.A.S.H. missions have you meeting the dirty cops of the unit at the only donut joint in Downtown, Jim's Sticky Ring. The first mission's cutscene actually features the fully rendered inside of the shopnote it's not an accessible restaurant during gameplay. When CJ and Catalina rob a bank in "Small Town Bank", one of the two deputies inside a diner complains about the robbery because he bought another donut to eat. Moreover, the diner is located right behind the bank. And sometimes if a fat CJ is arrested: From Grand Theft Auto IV, the Rusty Brown Ring Donuts website repeatedly stresses their product's importance to the police's involvement in The War on Terror, promising a half-price discount for them. On the flip side, the law firm Goldberg, Ligner, & Shyster successfully sued Rusty Brown for making police officers unable to perform their duties by directly advertising to them, causing the officers to become fat and lazy through overconsumption of donuts. Also, one of the cop models has the dialogue, "Oh, a donut! Make it large." |

Once every few novels of the In Death series, someone is bound to bring a box of donuts into "Cop Central". Usually it's intrepid reporter Nadine Furst, who routinely bribes her way into Eve Dallas' office by this method, but sometimes it's just "someone brought donuts." A feeding frenzy inevitably ensues, and the cop who takes care to set a donut aside for a colleague is considered a thoughtful person indeed. | |

Another variation comes in the Rebus novels, in which it is stated several times that the uniform cops are particularly fond of Greggs, a Real Life British cafe chain which does sell doughnuts, although the cops prefer the savoury products like sausage rolls and steak bakes (which is, it's fair to say, pretty much true of real British Coppers). At one point, an arrest is carried out in a branch of Greggs when an officer recognised a wanted suspect while queuing for a steak bake. | |

In the morning she serves him a bowl of cereal saying she doesn't know what cops eat, with Monroe swiftly quipping "donuts!" The cop, a genuinely good officer, explains that it's a misconception as a healthy diet is a priority so he can keep physically fit. | |

Benjamin Clawhauser, ZPD's receptionist/dispatcher in Zootopia, eats so many donuts that his hands are always covered with sprinkles. He's first introduced eating one, comments on how he's the stereotypical fat donut-loving cop after a profiling faux pas, and then pulls out a donut from a fold of his neck when Judy points it out to him. Donuts aren't the only sugary things he constantly eats, though. | |

In SPY Fox 3: Operation Ozone, Stanley Seagull will give you the tapioca needed to make the Secret Donut XY if you give him the donut he wants. However, there is a cop in the donut shop that will eat any donut you order. You have to distract him by opening a can of laughter outside the shop and tricking him into investigating a laugh riot outside. | |

She's offended until he explains exactly why cops eat donuts, pretty much the same as in the page description. She grudgingly accepts this and tells him which car they're in.

Donuts are mine-type weapons in Operation: Inner Space, which don't do damage, but cause those who pick them up to spin out temporarily. They're especially effective against the Enforcers, who will usually go out of their way to catch them. In fact, grabbing a donut that an Enforcer is after is actually a crime (albeit a minor one). | |

In Postal 2 you can lure cops away by throwing doughnuts at the floor. A rather sickening variation exists in the same game. Throwing a doughnut on the floor and then peeing on it will produce a contaminated doughnut which you can pick back up. These get lumped in with the rest of the doughnuts in your inventory and look no different than normal doughnuts. If contaminated doughnuts have a cop happen across the]... well, Vomit Indiscretion Shot ensues. Also, finding and putting on a cop uniform causes the Postal Dude to say "Someone stole my donuts, and now you're all going to pay!". |

Sam & Max: Freelance Police: While never actually seen eating doughnuts, Sam and Max have a box with one, ancient uneaten doughnut in it. Sam comments that there's a microscopic civilization on there. Eventually one of their "Continents" is blown up with a tiny nuclear missile. | |

The Darkside Detective: Near the beginning of the "Disorient Express" chapter, Dooley makes several attempts to persuade McQueen that they should blow the case off and head back to the precinct house before they miss out on a free donut offer. In the "Police Farce" chapter, the whiteboard in the briefing room of the precinct house is covered in writing that proves on closer inspection to be the donut and coffee rota. |

From Grand Theft Auto IV, the Rusty Brown Ring Donuts website repeatedly stresses their product's importance to the police's involvement in The War on Terror, promising a half-price discount for them. On the flip side, the law firm Goldberg, Ligner, & Shyster successfully sued Rusty Brown for making police officers unable to perform their duties by directly advertising to them, causing the officers to become fat and lazy through overconsumption of donuts. Also, one of the cop models has the dialogue, "Oh, a donut! Make it large." |

In Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven (or at least in the Xbox port thereof, renamed Return from Darkness), there's an unlockable mission for Rikimaru that involves him going through a portal into the future. Most of the people he's required to kill are cops/security guards, and as they're dying, their last words are, "I see donuts...donuts from heaven." | |

In the Henry Stickmin Series game Escaping the Prison, some of the prison guards can be seen eating donuts. Clicking on all the donuts in the game gets you a medal. Also invoked in one of the bios for the same game, in the remastered version. The bio for Kev Portly mentions that he joined the police force specifically because he loves donuts and knows that cops eat donuts. |

The Transformers (2007) tie-in game shows Barricade scanning his alternate mode from one police cruiser out of multiple parked outside a donut store. (Of note is that you can also throw the giant donut on the roof at the cops. Stuff like that is what makes this tie-in So Bad, It's Good.) | |

Need for Speed: In the original game, open road tracks disable traffic and cops in multiplayer and tournament modes due to hardware limitations. The manual handwaves this by stating that the cops are all resting in the donut shop. One of the pursuit breakers in Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005) is at a donut shop, and running over the supports will have the giant donut fall on any cop cars chasing you. |
