Which McDonald’s mascot was depicted as a police officer in McDonaldland?

Officer Big Mac was depicted as a police officer in McDonaldland.

The character was designed as part of McDonald’s broader fictional advertising world, where familiar restaurant ideas were turned into personalities with distinct occupations and costumes. Officer Big Mac’s police role gave the campaign another recognizable figure alongside Ronald McDonald, the Hamburglar, and Mayor McCheese.

His name and appearance connected him to the Big Mac, while the uniform established his place within the imaginary community. That kind of direct food-and-character association was a central feature of McDonaldland branding.

The character is easy to confuse with Mayor McCheese because both had civic roles. Mayor McCheese was the burger-headed mayor, whereas Officer Big Mac was the police officer. The Hamburglar, by contrast, was portrayed as a mischievous character who pursued hamburgers.
