Line 72:
* Once every few novels of the ''[[In Death]]'' series, someone is bound to bring a box of donuts into "Cop Central." Usually it's intrepid reporter Nadine Furst, who routinely bribes her way into Eve Dallas's office by this method, but sometimes it's just "someone brought donuts."
* In the [[Tamora Pierce]] novel [[Tortall Universe|Bloodhound]], Beka Cooper, a Guardswoman (or "Provost's Dog"), dines on "fried dough spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg", which she later describes as "dough knots".
* Rare British example: The Ankh-Morpork City Watch, in the ''[[Discworld]]'' novels. Captain Vimes has a doughnut at Harga's House of Ribs in ''[[
* Everyone Jo knows from [[Da Chief]] to her cabbie buddy Gary knows her favourite types of drink and her favourite pastries from the local donut shop in [[The Walker Papers]].
* The shtekeleh, a Filipino-style Chinese donut in ''[[The Yiddish Policemen's

Line 133:
* A concert poster for the band Cop Shoot Cop depicts two policemen dueling over the last doughnut.
== [[Recorded and Stand
* [[Gabriel Iglesias]] was once pulled over by a cop in a [[Krispy Kreme]] parking lot for speeding (he was overexcited to get home and eat the donuts on his lap.) The policeman asked the obligatory "You know why I pulled you over?" He answered, "Yeah man, 'cause you could smell 'em!" The cop got enough of a kick out of that to let him go.

** Also, the first two Officer Tenpenny missions have you meeting him at a donut shop.
Line 191:
* Happened in ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]''.
** One episode has a fat and lazy cop sitting in his patrol car eating donuts and bragging about what a great cop he is while his partner is across the street foiling a bank robbery. On the way back to the station, he got donuts from practically every donut shop he found, including one that also sells Chinese food. And he's still eating donuts back at the station when [[Da Chief]] gives him the [[Turn in Your Badge]] speech. The cop then hands over his gun, which [[Da Chief]] tells him to keep as a "souvenir"...and asks for his donut instead.
**
* Subverted in ''[[Sealab 2021]]'': Quinn tries to get a cop to leave a crime scene by throwing a donut away from it, even speaking to him like a dog ("go get, get it!"). The cop then tells he's diabetic, so Quinn just tasers him.
* Harvey Bullock from ''[[Batman: The Animated Series]]'''s love of donuts goes without saying. There's one scene early in the show's run where most of the police rush out of headquarters in response to some emergency and he lingers to grab one.
Line 199 ⟶ 200:
* ''[[Gargoyles]]'' has some of the cops use this trope. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtlwggtdiDk The cops are eating donuts, see the monster, and blame the donut's sugar.]
* Lucky Piquel of ''[[Bonkers]]'' sure loves his pastries.
▲* ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]'' movie has the cops portrayed in a [[Police Are Useless|''bad'']] light. Before the girls came along, crime was rampant, and we see the reason...during every crime, the police were at the DONUT SHOP.
* In one episode of ''Funky Cops'', Ace gets a new partner, a fresh academy grad, when Dick is incapacitated.
{{quote|'''Ace''': So what do they teach you at the academy these days?
Line 234:
* In Michigan, a Police Station had bought and run a donut shop that was on the verge of closing down. They called it, "Cops & Doughnuts".

* In the 90s, Atlanta-area radio DJs Randy and Spiff had a "contest" called "Cop In, Cop Out", wherein they scouted a donut shop, then challenged the caller to guess whether there was a policeman in the store or not. Saying "Cop In" was pretty much a sure thing.
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20130707153805/http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m3197/is_7_53/ai_n27946249/ This article] for those that didn't click it, it's a story about a donut delivery truck being hijacked and chased by a minimum of nine officers from four agencies in a half-dozen cruisers! Also, the company donated the stolen donuts to the arresting officers.
* A joke once detailed that when a Cop goes to Hell, he must make a decision: Bullets or Donuts.
* An Alberta city in the early 90s saw an internal police memo leaked to the press where, to avoid people believing this trope by seeing the Tim Horton's parking lot full of police cars, officers were asked to park down the street and walk.
Line 242:
* Tim Hortons, far and away from the largest coffee, baked goods and fast-food chain in [[Canada]], was founded by the hockey player Tim Horton, but his first investor and franchisee were Ron Joyce, a police constable who frequented Horton's shop on his beat. After Horton's death, Joyce took over the chain and expanded it into the empire it is today.
** Instead of paying for security, Tim Hortons offers free menu items to members of Law Enforcement, encouraging police to frequent time.
