He spent a year training for his position as a reserve officer in Miami Beach, according to the Associated Press. He only got paid $1 a year for that job, but he got to carry a gun, wear a badge, and make arrests.

And it's not all for show - when Shaq worked in Miami Beach in 2005, he helped an officer arrest a suspect for a hate crime when he saw a man throw a bottle at someone and yell anti-gay slurs.
