It’s a SHOOT OUT!

Today’s FROS (For Refreshment Only Sunday) offering is one that is near and dear to my heart . . . hot cops.

Of course, we all have our own favorite TV cops. Here are two of mine:

and

And then, there are the real cops. They’re just as pretty, and — and you can trust me on this — they’re MUCH more interesting.

I found several calendars of Hot Cops, all done for charity, but this one was my favorite, mainly because the guy’s chest is . . . well, it just IS.

Yeah. I liked that, too.

And here is another cop from a calendar. The NJ Cop Calendar:

I feel the need to visit New Jersey. Like oh, yesterday. You can come, too, but I must warn you, WE WILL BE SPEEDING.

Here’s another picture of a real life cop from a calendar of Madrid policemen:

We might need to speed in Spain, too.

And then, of course, there is my favorite Hot Cop of all . . . my very own Hot Cop:

Happy FROS, m’dears! May your week be safe, safe, s-a-f-e! (And even though I KNOW it’s tempting, NO SPEEDING.)

    What a yummy way to start the day! :) Thanks, Karen!

    1. Karen Hawkins says:

      Julie, you’re quite welcome! :)

  2. Kelly Proellocks says:

    I’m drooling over Shemar Moore and I would happily join you on the trip to NJ. Hot Cop is a babe Karen. You are one lucky goddess.

    1. Karen Hawkins says:

      Thanks, Kelly. He’s a sweetie. And I think a trip to NJ is a must-do!

  3. Freshechelle says:

    As an aggressive driver in NJ, I must protest! All those cops who’ve pulled me over wore shrts. I was gypped!!! I paid good money for those stops, I deserve some eye candy.

    Nice to see Hot Cop going viral. Looking good!

    1. Karen Hawkins says:

      Fresh, just don’t tell him he’s viral. He’s weird about that sort of thing … Go figure.

      As for the NJ cops – what? They wore shirts? And there you are, paying taxes! No fair!

  4. Judy F says:

    WOWZA what a way to start a Sunday. Love Mr. Moore he is fine. Nice personal Hot Cop you got there. You lucky girl you.

    1. Karen Hawkins says:

      Thanks, Judy! He’s a keeper.

      Glad we could start your week off with a bang!

  5. Kelly Ryan Watson says:

    Oohhhh! I LOVE hot cops. Any one of those fine policemen could pull me over and handcuff me! Oh, did I say that out loud? Sorry. Hot cops and handcuffs, dreamy thoughts to start off my week! And your personal Hot Cop is swell also ;) I love real life heroes!

    1. Karen Hawkins says:

      Kelly, real life heroes are the bomb, aren’t they? I’d rather have one real life hero than a hundred actors who play a real life hero.

  6. dbrown3400 says:

    What a way to start the day. Is five considered a gaggle of hot cops? Well I’m certainly ogling these fine specimens of our protectors of justice. Your hot cop is special of course!

    1. Karen Hawkins says:

      Dbrown, lol! A gaggle sounds good to me. I’m jonesing for.a trip to NJ. Apparently they don’t wear shirts there and I gotta see!

  7. evlqn says:

    Now why can’t our local cops look more like these? I know they are out there, they just need to come to our town. Karen, you really found the pony with your Hot Cop.

    1. Karen Hawkins says:

      Eviqn, he’s a worthwhile guy.:) I have seen some locals cops that weren’t FROS worthy, though. Many, in fact. But there are some … Umm mmmm!

  8. LouisaCornell says:

    Speeding hell! I’m going to be doing something that merits a strip search when I run into these cops! These guys give a whole new meaning to the words Under. Arrest. !!

    1. Karen Hawkins says:

      Lol! You rock, Louisa!

  9. Suzanne Enoch says:

    I’m going to have to rethink my stance on not breaking the law. And Hot Cop’s looking good, Karen!!

    1. Karen Hawkins says:

      Suzanne, we won’t tell him he’s on the FROS Wall. Not today, anyway. Heh!

  10. Gail Nichols says:

    You are a very lucky woman Karen. He is very handsome.

    1. Karen Hawkins says:

      Handsome is nice, but oh, what a terrific sense of humor! That’s what got me. Still does!

  11. Archer says:

    The cops around my University in NY were soooo hot. It was like the precinct of hot cops. Some were even on horses!
    My favorite TV cop was officer Bosco from the show Third Watch. He was such an arse… loved him :)
    I’ve always had a soft spot for cops. I think it because they visited our school when I was a kid and always make me fee safe.

    1. Karen Hawkins says:

      Archer, hot cops on horses … You are singing my song! I’ve never seen Third Watch. I hope Netflix has it!

      1. Archer says:

        You must watch!!! It has hot cops, fireman and paramedics :)

  12. Cheri Champagne says:

    You’re a very lucky lady, Karen! And I’m thinking I might just have to pick up a new calendar… Ooh, maybe one of those firemen calendars. mmm… Wait, what was I talking about?

    1. Karen Hawkins says:

      Cheri, I have one on the wall in my office. Loooove that calendar!

  13. Jen B says:

    I feel gypped. I got pulled over in NJ for speeding and the cop was NOT a hot cop :grumpy: This was a nice line up though :) And yes, your hot cop is best!

    1. Karen Hawkins says:

      Jen B, you were gypped!! Speed some more. Maybe you’ll get lucky next time! ;)

  14. RobinRBL says:

    I’m thinking that this FROS could entice us to be very very good citizens ;)

    And how nice to see cops getting some props. I’ve seen lots of hot fireman pix, now its good to see the other side of emergency management getting their due!

    1. Karen Hawkins says:

      Robin, well said! FROS is an equal opportunity eye candy venue. We try to give them all their hotness due.

  15. Judy, Judy, Judy says:

    Usually I have my cruise control on so I don’t speed and attract the attention of the cops but I might have to rethink that.

    1. Karen Hawkins says:

      Do it, Judy! Do it!

  16. Lori Howe says:

    I’m not sure who’s luckier … you, or hot cop.

    n i i i c e….

    1. Karen Hawkins says:

      Lori, I feel lucky every day. Hearing about some of the things Hot Cop and his fellow officers do at work – truly heroic things – make me appreciate all of them..

  17. JenG says:

    Better late than never….

    Karen, gotta say, you are one lucky lady. I might have to drive on down to Orlando to see if any of Hot Cop’s coworkers are nearly as good looking ;0

    1. Karen Hawkins says:

      Jen, some are … One of them is all muscled up and is in a calendar, too. Very sexy!

  18. Ginger Robertson says:

    Ok Hot Cop is yours but could you send a few of them my way? I have been speeding and texting which is law breaking. I promise not to put up a fight. Oh they can handcuff me too.

    1. Karen Hawkins says:

      Ginger, you’re such a *good* citizen to turn yourself in like that! Heh!

  19. Gale S. says:

    Ahem. I notice you didn’t share YOUR Hot Cop’s chest shot… Thanks for the great FROS!! :>)

    1. Karen Hawkins says:

      Gale, he’d be shocked to know his face is up there; I didn’t dare post a chest shot.

      Yet. Hee hee!

  20. jam says:

    say, does your Hot Cop have co-workers as good-looking as he is? LOL thanks for the nice start to our day karen!

    1. Karen Hawkins says:

      Jam, there’s a big SWAT meet once a year here in Orlando and ohhhhh my! :)

  21. Shaundra Lee says:

    That was too awesome! Your cop is pretty hot :)

    1. Karen Hawkins says:

      Shaundra, thank you! We aim to please here on Sundays!

  22. Cindi says:

    Wow! Hot Cop probably has fun toys to play with ;) Oops, did I actually say that? I meant, those gorgeous Other Cops probably have fun toys to play with ….But seriously, tell HC that we appreciate him and other real cops for what they do to keep us all safe.

  23. TinaF says:

    Your Hot Cop looks great.

    I have yet to see any cops look that good in Montana. They must all be in your area.

  24. Mary Preston says:

    Obviously the police around here need to shape up!!!

  25. Kathleen O says:

    I would love to COP a feel from anyone of these fine Hot Cops…. Thanks for making me feel better…

  26. Debbie says:

    Ah, the Rock is from my hometown of Bethlehem. But I must say you are a very lucky woman to have your own Hot Cop.

  27. Virginia Breckon says:

    I love that you call your hubby “Hot Cop”! I call mine “Mr. Wonderful” (no sarcasm intended) but he prefers “SuperMan”.. He is not in law enforcement, but he is wonderful in many different ways. Totally fits my description of what a man should be…
    Nice pictures by the way, maybe I need to call SuperMan and tell him there is an emergency at home!

  28. Tina says:

    I work for a local government and I can assure you that our cops DO NOT look like these guys. Heck, if there was a cop around here that looked like Shemar Moore my friends and I would have so many speeding tickets it wouldn’t be funny.

  29. Sara McLaughlin says:

    Karen you just made my day. I used to live in Rhode Island where our State Troopers have had a long running reign as best dressed in law enforcement, although I think they finally got taken down. Love a good man in uniform! Especially when they uniform is something else.

  30. Karon McCulloch says:

    In my ancient years, I’ve found that there are a significant number of hot cops, hot firemen, and hot EMTs. The easiest way to meet some is to attend firemen’s breakfasts, injure yourself and require EMTs to evaluate your injuries, buy tickets to the local policemen’s ball. Love your books.

  31. Jane Mccarthy says:

    thanks for sharing including your own hot cop.

  32. denise says:

    thx…for shareing and the advice

    1. denise says:

      **sharing**

  33. Jenn C says:

    Well this post certainly perked up my morning! Hello Dwayne Johnson! Another hot cop? Alex O’Loughlin from Hawaii 5-0…yummy.

    For the record, I am from Jersey and I have never ever ever seen a cop that hot…Looks like I have some scouting to do…
