GamerGuy Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 CLEVELAND -- Becoming one of Ohio's uniformed officers won't be a cakewalk for Shaquille O'Neal. Hoping to further his off-the-court career in law enforcement, the Cleveland Cavaliers star has applied to become a special deputy in the Buckeye state. But the (Cleveland) Plain Dealer reported Sunday that O'Neal must pass an examination and undergo training first. The Ohio Peace Officer Training Academy is currently reviewing O'Neal's qualifications. "It appears that Mr. O'Neal will need to undergo substantial additional training as well as successful completion of the state certification examination before he can become a certified peace officer in the state of Ohio," said Holly Hollingsworth, spokeswoman for the state attorney general. O'Neal would not be allowed to carry a gun and make arrests without that training, Hollingsworth said. If approved, O'Neal would have the right to carry a gun and make arrests but he would not be a paid, formal employee. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=4679855 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
