Steven Seagal In
Costa Rica To
Meet Presidenta
Chinchilla
Steven Seagal,
the American
action movie
actor, producer,
writer, martial
artist, arrived
in Costa Rica
Thursday night
to take part in
a conference
addressing the
issue of public
safety in Costa
Rica.
Seagal was
invited by
former
legislator
Fernando Sánchez,
who is
organizing the
event, that will
be held at the
Club Unión in
downtown San
José.
Attending the
conference will
also be
authorities from
different
communities
across the
country, that
included local
mayors and local
police
officials.
Seagal, in
addition to his
"Hollywood" role
is currently a
Reserve Deputy
Chief of the
Sheriff's Office
in the community
of Jefferson
Parish,
Louisiana.
Seagal says that
he graduated
from a police
academy in
California and
has a
certificate from
Peace Officer
Standards &
Training (POST),
an organization
that accredits
California
police officers.
In television
commercials
broadcast prior
to the premiere
of his reality
television
series, Steven
Seagal: Lawman,
he says he has
been a police
officer for 20
years. However,
according to a
December 2, 2009
Los Angeles
Times
commentary,
P.O.S.T. has no
record of this,
and his deputy
chief rank is
ceremonial only.
It should be
noted, however,
that an
individual can
serve as a
Reserve Deputy
Sheriff at
certain agencies
in the state of
Louisiana
without being
P.O.S.T.
Without a doubt,
Seagal is
expected to pay
a visit to
presidenta Laura
Chinchilla,
similar to his
visits with
former
president, Oscar
Arias, every
time Seagal
touched foot in
Costa Rica. |
