Shaquille O’Neal was sworn in by Sheriff Victor Hill this weekend as an honorary Clayton County Sheriff’s Deputy.
The former LA Lakers and Miami Heat star becomes the tallest deputy in the county’s history, standing at 7ft 1in.
“Welcome to the crime fighting family, Shaq!” Hill posted to his Facebook page on Saturday.
O’Neal has been a part-time Atlantan the past 15 years, splitting time between Orlando and his Metro properties.
The 44-year-old is also the owner of one of Atlanta’s much-loved sweet eateries, having bought a downtown Krispy Kreme franchise last October.
O’Neal is also an honorary U.S. Deputy Marshal and is a reserve police officer with departments in California, Arizona and Florida.
