About
A police officer is an authorized law enforcement worker with the typical dimensions of a fully grown adult human.
Actual sizes vary widely depending on sex, genetics, and regional averages for adult humans. Protective gear, such as body armor, heavy boots, and duty belts, adds significant bulk and can add 15 to 30 pounds (7 to 14 kg) to their base weight. This equipment noticeably broadens an officer's profile compared to an unequipped civilian.
From Wikipedia
A police officer is a warranted law employee of a police force. In most countries, police officer is a generic term not specifying a particular rank.
