We’re used to seeing him on our televisions during halftime of Thursday’s national TV NBA games, but in his spare time, Shaquille O’Neal has just picked up a new side gig, and it’s a bit of an unusual one.

The Broward County Sheriff’s Office in Florida is welcoming Deputy Shaq as its most recent signing! The big man recently dropped by the department to discuss the different ways that law enforcement can keep its communities safe.

Basketball legend @SHAQ goes by many nicknames, and now added to that list is Deputy Shaq. The big man now works as an auxillary deputy with the #BSO.

As we all know, Shaq is a man of many interests, and he has also served with law enforcement in Florida, Georgia, Arizona and Califorina.

We’re not sure how he finds the time to juggle so many things at once, but we’re not complaining! Shaq recently stopped by Hot Ones for an interview and some hot wings, and, of course, he delivered with some classic reactions.
