How not to wear the uniform

[BigDogatPlay]

Found at thechive.com... this is why people think we all eat too many doughnuts.

Very poor public images being presented by some of our bretheren.... if it weren't so unsafe for them and those they work with it might be as funny to a LEO as I'm sure it is to non-LEOs.

Stuff like this should be a wake up call for anyone you work with who isn't keeping themselves prepared.

There is a HUGE motors dude here in W. Sac. He's gotta go 350 and dwarfs even his full on, cop dressed Harley.

#17 is the definitive spare tire.

Not to dog on cops, but man, these cops really let them selves go. What a shame. I really wish ALL PD would have a PT program to keep officers in shape. It is part of the job IMHO. How would any of these officers chase a perp on foot? Not very well I say. Let alone the health risks they are putting themselves at and thus costing their health plans more money.

Reserves maybe? A lot of these seem to be during special events.

To protect and serve...................................... doughnuts.

Yeah, I thought the same thing...but still...you have to represent...and to me personally, I would not let myself get like that expecially if I was an officer, reserve or not. I have been heavier in my life, but not anything like those folks, exercise and eating right is all they need...not a diet...just eat healthier and cut out the the junk food and processed sugar and sodas.
Its easy to gain weight, but so much harder to lose it.

That is what I am working on. Trying to lose the weight to get in shape and hopefully by the time I am good to go and go to the academy the State might unf**k itself.

There is no "one size fit's all" in law enforcement...

Keep it up and you will do great! GL at the academy too!

I felt like these guys today! 40-45 pounds of extra gear chasing someone up some of the most trecherous terrian in CA...We got one of them though! I love my job!

I am just now getting used to running in a duty belt with full gear. Damn, so much harder than it looks. Especially being a big guy!

[ilikeguns]

Ya, my job dictates running after folks alot as well. When I train, I run in full street clothes (jeans and a sweatshirt or whatever.) Get alot of looks when running, but its a whole different game than a pair of athletic shorts and a wife-beater. Cant imagine what all that gear is like. Used to wear body armor at work and that was bad enough.

[Average Joe American]

Its embarrassing. Cops are often held to a higher standard morally...and they should be held to a higher standard health & image wise also. Not just for themselves but to be more of an asset when I need backup to run to my position. If you cant jump over a wall or sprint a block to help me out...what good are you to me?

Bad cop, no doughnut. I never allowed myself to get so out of shape and look so gross ever, especially when I was a cop. I do see these sloths about every day and I resent, as a taxpayer, that this is allowed.
