He doesn't just play one on TV, he really is one! Us Weekly reports that after playing a police officer on CHiPs from 1977 to 1983, Erik Estrada has become a real police officer in the town of St. Anthony, Idaho. The father of four is a reserve officer, whose efforts will be focused on protecting children from online predators. He had the following to say at his induction: “Education is the best protection, especially on the internet. Certainly don't ever go meet someone you've been chatting with. They're not who they are. If they send a picture, that isn't them. It's a small community, and they have a need for what we want to do, and they will allow us to do it and, with their help, we can do it. The online sexual predator will take his time to groom a child on the internet. They will send them gifts, they will befriend them, they will be there for them and before you know it, the child has disclosed every bit of information of themselves. Now they know where they live."
