Cop here and here are the real reasons.
1. Equipment. Were required to wear the heavy vest and heavy belt. This has a tendency to cause bad posture when paired with driving around and sitting in a squad car for hours on end. Look up anterior pelvic tilt
2. Long hours and fast food. Sometimes its the oppositirme and we dont really get breaks. Again, if youre working 12 hrs and the local pizza place gives you half off...well.
3. Overtime and side jobs. Alot of guys fall into the trap of not being able to turn down the money. You work from 6p to 6a. Then they go home and take kid to school. Then sleep 3 or 4 hrs. Then go work a side job for 4 hrs. Circadian rhythm and sleep is all jacked up. This takes its toll, in conjunction with being too tired to exercise
I personally workout 5 days per week and rarely work overtime, but i see this stuff happen ALOT
