Which McDonaldland character served as the town’s police officer?

The story behind the answer

Officer Big Mac served as McDonaldland’s police officer.

McDonaldland was McDonald’s fictional advertising setting populated by anthropomorphic food items and other characters. Officer Big Mac was a police-officer character based on the Big Mac hamburger, with a distinctive Big Mac-shaped head.

The character belonged to the same advertising world as Mayor McCheese, Captain Crook, Grimace, and the Hamburglar. These figures helped McDonald’s turn menu items and restaurant themes into a recurring children’s marketing universe.

Officer Big Mac is easy to confuse with other McDonaldland figures. Mayor McCheese was the town’s mayor, while Captain Crook was associated with Filet-O-Fish sandwiches and the Hamburglar was the recurring burger thief. McDonaldland characters became less prominent in later McDonald’s advertising.
