Why do so many law enforcement officers have a mustache?

What’s up with the cop stache?

.....pron....stache.....is in.....right now.......

It proves you are a manly man..and the department doesn't allow the neck beards they savor.

[RgrF]

It's all about "mustache rides".

[davester]

Firemen too. It's a boys club secret handshake (except for the secret part).

Or "Mr. Clean"... shaved everywhere visible (or invisible ?)

I expect it's more for intimidation purposes. Look big, feel big.

Just goes to show people are as stupid now as they were then.

Purple spikes, two tone, half shaved, whatever is ok, but have a mustache?

Oh, the humanity.
