This is how Shaq feels about crime

Although he's still undergoing a background check, Shaq does have previous experience working in law enforcement. Shaq was sworn in as a reserve officer for the Miami Beach Police Department in 2005, working under current Doral Police Chief Don De Lucca.

“If he passes, he will then have to do everything else to be certified by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, just like any of our other officers, reserve or not reserve," city spokesperson Christina Bauger tells the Miami Herald.

In addition to serving as a law-enforcing citizen, Shaq has also been an NBA superstar, actor, musician, tech investor and he even holds a master's degree in business administration.
