Steven Seagal – Reserve Officer
Steven Seagal is best known for his action movies and martial arts moves. But did you know he is also a reserve officer? This 67-year-old actor has been a reserve deputy chief in the Jefferson Parish, Louisiana Sheriff’s Office. It was his knowledge and skills that led him to gain the Reserve Officer position. In the late 1980s, the then-sheriff Harry Lee got impressed when Seagal taught police deputies martial arts, unarmed combat, and marksmanship. As a sign of gratitude and awe, he offered Seagal to join the force.
Relatively, Seagal allegedly graduated from a police academy in Los Angeles and got a certificate from Peace Officer Standards & Training (POST), the same body to accredit California police officers. However, POST officials in California and Louisiana claimed no found record of Seagal being certified and believed that Seagal’s appointment might be just ceremonial. If Seagal is indeed a police officer, he should get insurance.
