Which McDonald’s character was a police officer and appeared in the early McDonaldland cast?

The story behind the answer

The McDonald’s character who was a police officer was Officer Big Mac. He appeared among the early McDonaldland characters, a fictional world created to give McDonald’s advertising a shared setting.

Officer Big Mac was designed as a personified Big Mac hamburger, with a police-style role that helped make the character world more varied. His appearance connected the restaurant’s signature sandwich to a memorable personality rather than presenting it only as a menu item.

Officer Big Mac is often confused with Mayor McCheese, who was the hamburger-headed mayor of McDonaldland. Captain Crook was another major character, but his role was associated with stealing Filet-O-Fish sandwiches rather than enforcing rules.
