The Chad Cop meme is a variation of the wider 'Chad' and 'GigaChad' internet subculture, characterizing a police officer as a peak specimen of stoicism and common sense. Unlike traditional memes that might mock authority, Chad Cop represents the idealized, 'based' version of law enforcement—someone who prioritizes real justice over minor infractions and acts with unwavering confidence. Usually depicted through stylized 3D renders or heavily edited photos of muscular officers, the meme is frequently used to highlight instances where authority figures act in a way that is surprisingly cool, fair, or remarkably chill.
