Steven Segal: Lawman
I've just learned from reading this in IGN; but apparently since filming in Louisiana 20 years ago, Steven Segal himself has been working as a fully-commissioned deputy with the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office. In addition to going out on patrol, Seagal is an expert marksman who has worked with their SWAT team and has instructed the officers in firearms and hand-to-hand combat.
A new reality series Steven Segal: Lawman on the A&E channel, will allow us to ride shotgun with Seagal as he and his hand-selected elite team of deputies respond to crimes-in-progress. Then, when Seagal goes off-duty, the cameras will continue following him as he pursues his many ventures – including musical performances and philanthropic efforts – all over New Orleans. I swear I'm not making this up!
Seagal has never sought publicity for his work with the Sheriff's Office before now, which is why we don't know about. "I've been working as an officer in Jefferson Parish for two decades under most people's radar," said Seagal, "I've decided to work with A&E on this series now because I believe it's important to show the nation all the positive work being accomplished here in Louisiana – to see the passion and commitment that comes from the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office in this post-Katrina environment."
