Which McDonaldland character was portrayed as a police officer?

Officer Big Mac was the McDonaldland character portrayed as a police officer.

He was designed as a personified Big Mac hamburger, with the sandwich’s ingredients represented in his appearance. His role expanded McDonaldland beyond Ronald McDonald and helped turn McDonald’s menu items into recognizable advertising characters.

Officer Big Mac is sometimes confused with Mayor McCheese, another food-themed character, or Captain Crook, a pirate associated with Filet-O-Fish promotions. The Hamburglar, meanwhile, was a recurring villain who tried to steal hamburgers rather than enforce rules.

McDonaldland debuted in McDonald’s advertising during the early 1970s. The fantasy setting and its cast became an important part of the chain’s family-oriented branding, although many of the characters were gradually retired from regular advertising.
