If we are to compare the law enforcers, police officers have bigger tummy. It may sound funny but why? Do you have any idea. What I can say is that other law enforcers like the military and navy personnel are more active physically compared to the police. Ping Lacson implemented before a law to suspend police officers who have bigger waistline than the given limit. Do you think the chief officer have to do something again to make them more healthy?

hello, i do not think that it is just the cops have a large tummy. all those people who are inactive have that. well if you compare the cops with the people from the army then certainly you are going to have a large tummy seen among the police officers. that is directly because of the less activity that the police officers have in their duty. but i have seen many police officers perform daily exercises and keep themselves fit and in shape. have a good day and happy postings!

Not only police officers have big tummy,but also all the officer of the government,too much dinner party and they only sit on the chair in working hours,and the person on the higher position have the bigger waistline.I think the chief officer of the government need set rules of the min exercise times per day.

We all know that most policemen here in the Philippines got big tummies. Any police precinct can has policeman who has a basketball like-tummy and it is very true. It is really funny and I am thinking they have stomach like that because they always sit and they are missing in the crime scene or a situation that when the are needed. Especially places when that has less trouble or problem, the policeman stomach is getting bigger there. Maybe they like eating, drinking and smoking thats why they have a body figure like that. That is only my opinion. LOL.

well the reason why police officers grow pot belly is because once they finish from their various training they do not go back to track to make sure they control their belly and secondly they eat junk food cos of the nature of their job and they never watch what they eat.

Because after training they joined the duty and not continuing what they taught in training.. Other"s are doing it except Police..

I think that's really weird that some police officers have a huge lump around their waist! I'm asking myself - how are they going to run after those criminals? They are going to exhaust themselves after five seconds! I know some people make a joke about that but I'm sure that there's some truth to this that, some police officers love to have their daily doughnuts! Andrew

It's because they do nothing but sit in their chair. They don;t even do their job well. It's like they took criminology course so they can become policeman to earn money by doing nothing. They're the worst in Pinas. They're human leeches.

Because what they do is just sit, watch and eat in their offices. Then after their duty they go to bars and clubs to have their drinking sessions. It's so disappointing that the taxes we are paying would only go to lazy cops who does nothing at all. They want our respect but do they need that? I think no. There are just few cops out there who deserves our honor and supprt. ^^/

It's because of the donuts and excessively-sweet coffee combined with the lack of activity and indolence. Their superior officers should impose a decent shape of body and ability to perform medium-high physical activity, taking into consideration that they are supposed to enforce the law and sometimes chase felons.

My personal opinions is that police officers dont excersize as the other law enforcers. they are driving around patrolling streets and alleys 85% of their shift. As long as they are able to pass Physical Testing, stating that they are "in shape" and capable of doing thier jobs, I dont not see the dire need to force officers to lose weight.
