Shaquille O’Neal Volunteers For Tempe Police

March 26th, 2008 | by HG |

The Phoenix Suns brought Shaquille O’Neal to the desert to bolster their defense. It looks like the Big Fella will be serving and protecting the paint along with the citizens of Tempe, Arizona. Following in his law enforcement loving ways, Shaquille O’Neal has signed up as a volunteer for the Tempe Police.

The Phoenix Suns player visited the police station March 20 and filled out an application to be a volunteer, said department spokeswoman Sgt. Cindy Davies.

Davies said she did not know when O’Neal planned to start volunteering or why he chose Tempe.

Police department volunteers assist in a range of activities, from handing out flyers to acting as an interpreter.

After Shaq’s attempts at Chinese, it looks like he’ll be the Big Leaflet. I don’t know what his duties were with the Miami police, but he had a Reno 911! moment when he worked with sheriffs in Virginia.. In the end, Shaq will probably be a promotional tool for the Tempe PD like he was in Los Angeles.
