Best Preview That I've Seen in Awhile

More on Lawman from tbivision.com:

Not content with kicking bad guys' butts on the big screen, action hero Steven Seagal spends his spare time chasing real-life criminals in his capacity as a fully commissioned deputy sheriff in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana. The actor has been training officers in the area and going out on calls with them for almost twenty years. US cable network A&E now has the first series to follow the movie-star-come-lawman in action.
 
The roots of Seagal's career as a cop stretch back twenty years to when he was shooting a movie in Louisiana. He bet a local sheriff that he was a better marksman than any of his men and, after winning the wager, asked to spend some time with the police department in question. He started giving martial arts and combat training to the cops before then going out on patrol with them and he's been working with the department for several weeks or months a year ever since.
 
"When we caught wind of what he was doing we were fascinated," explains Neil Cohen, vice president, non-fiction and alternative programming at A&E Network and the series' executive producer. "We then started months long talks to get Steven comfortable with sharing that side of his life. Luckily for us one of his favourite programs is [Granada America-produced reality cop series] The First 48. So, we introduced him to the folks at Granada and there was an immediate bond."
 
Each episode follows Seagal on patrol and spending time with the officers - including a Zen shooting training session in which the actor proceeds to split tooth picks from a range of 25 feet. AETN is handling international sales and will be launching the show at MIP TV next month.
