Shaquille O'Neal has made no secret of his interest in going in to law enforcement after his NBA career. He spends his off-seasons hanging out with 5-0 in Los Angeles as a reserve L.A. Port police officer, and in Miami, he serves as a Miami Beach reserve officer.

Shaq was even a part of the Maricopa County Sheriff Posse in Arizona until his badge was confiscated for going after Kobe in a freestyle rhyme.

And now that Shaq is in Cleveland, he's looking to get down with the boys in blue there as well. According to the Associated Press, Shaq applied to become a special deputy with the Cuyahoga County Sheriff. If his application is approved, he would require 36 hours of police training and take an Ohio police exam. If he completes the training and passes the test, he will be deputized.

But what does a special deputy do? Not much, but just enough. The title allows him to carry a firearm and make arrests, but he would not be a paid formal employee. That's right, he's being a cop for the fun of it!
