Shaq joins Georgia sheriff's office as community relations director

Shaquille O'Neal has landed a new job in law enforcement.

Georgia's Henry County Sheriff's Office announced Thursday that O'Neal would serve as its new community relations director.

"As a part of Sheriff (Reginald) Scandrett's strategic plan, bridging the gap between the community and law enforcement is paramount," spokesman Eric Jackson told Asia Simone Burns of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "Coupled with Dr. O'Neal's philanthropy, Scandrett and Shaq have a specific plan to begin uniting the Henry County community."

The Hall of Famer and NBA on TNT analyst has worked in law enforcement before, serving as a reserve officer in Florida, Arizona, and Los Angeles. He was also sworn in as a sheriff's deputy in Clayton County, Georgia, in 2016.
