Erik Estrada

You may remember Erik Estrada from his role as Frank Poncherello, a California highway officer on the television show CHiPS. This role launched him into an actual law enforcement career in 2009 when he decided to take a position as a deputy sheriff in Bedford County, Virginia. That television role must have made a major impression on him if he chose to pursue an actual law enforcement career.

Erik Estrada had a dream as a child to become a police officer to serve and protect the public. It looks like his dream came true. As of right now, he is a reserve police officer in St. Anthony, Idaho. He receives an annual pension and a steady paycheck, which allows him to live a comfortable and stable life away from Hollywood sound stages.
