    As far as I can tell, almost everyone likes donuts! You always hear stories about seeing cops at the donut shop and it is a typical stereotype about police officers. I think the stories about cops and donuts comes from the fact that police officers work odd hours when most restaurants and stores are closed. In past years, the donut shops were all that were open at night. When an officer wanted to stop for a break, coffee and donuts were convenient. Since we are available for calls at all times, we may have to run off in a moment's notice. If you have several squads working an area and only one place is open, you are bound to see several officers there throughout the night. The donut shops are almost all gone now. Donuts have been replace with the bagel and there are not many all night donut shops open anymore. I wonder what the next stereotype will be? I've never heard the question "Do cops really like bagels?"

    It's not just cops. Many people like doughnuts. Doughnuts are so irresistible!

  • No idea, but good question!

    I suppose a lot of humans like doughnuts, just police officers more than most! Hehe :)

    It's a history that cops eat donuts because it was the only thing they could eat quickly and be able to still work.
