World's Tallest Cop

You had better think twice before crossing this cop! David Burks is America’s tallest cop, measuring in at an incredible 7 feet and 1 inch, literally towering over not only most drivers, but his fellow cops as well.

Burks’ 310- pound frame is astounding and always makes an impression when he pulls a driver over. His hulking frame can be seen bent over cars, trying to write down the driver’s information and making sure they know exactly how fast they were going.

“Size does have its advantages in law enforcement work,” says Burks. “People think twice before they mess with you.”

The giant police officer, who wears a size 14D shoe, is an investigator with the Caddo Parish Sherrif’s Department in Louisiana. He says that there have been times he’s appeared in the middle of a brawl, and just his presence there can break up a fight. Now that’s power!
