The majority of us have a general idea of what to expect when we go to our jobs. However, this isn’t always the case with law enforcement professionals.
The high-stress demands of law enforcement work weigh heavily on officers’ morale and health, contributing to alcohol and drug abuse. Law enforcement professionals pay a high-price to serve and protect us. Thank you for your commitment to our safety and protection.
Typically, police officers’ work requires shift work. In addition to the day shift, officers also work swing and midnight shifts. The available food options during these times haven’t always been numerous.
The choice to get a donut date to the years after World War II. Cops working graveyards in the 1940s and 1950s had few choices. They could pack a lunch, hope for an all-night diner on their beat, or load up on doughnuts. Donuts were convenient and considered cheap.
Since officers aren’t supposed to accept any gifts while on duty, it makes sense they’d decide to spend their own food money on something affordable. As the late-night food choices expanded, police were able to eat other food, but as you’ll see in the following video the joke stuck.

- An officer sees a man exit a bar at closing time and gets into his car. After observing some erratic driving, he pulls the man over. The officer asks the driver, “Where are you going at this time of night?” The man replies, “I’m on my way to attend a lecture about alcohol abuse and the effects it has on the human body, as well as smoking and staying out late.” The officer then asks, “Who would be giving that kind of lecture at this time of night?” The man says, “My wife.”
- What are the four food groups for cops? Jelly, powdered, glazed, and chocolate frosted.
