What was the name of McDonald's 1980s character who played a police officer?

McDonald's 1980s police-officer character was Officer Big Mac.

Officer Big Mac belonged to McDonaldland, the branded advertising world populated by personified food and restaurant characters. His role gave the fictional setting a law-enforcement figure and helped distinguish him from the Hamburglar, who was commonly portrayed as a mischievous thief.

The character's name combined a police title with McDonald's signature Big Mac product. This naming pattern was typical of McDonaldland, where characters often embodied menu items, restaurant themes, or recognizable brand language.

Officer Big Mac is easy to confuse with Captain Crook because both appeared in the same character universe. Captain Crook was the pirate associated with Filet-O-Fish, whereas Officer Big Mac's defining role was that of a police officer.
