The 77-year-old law professor, who was former karate instructor in his 50s and a SCCA race car driver in his 60s, recently decided to enlist in the police academy. He's the oldest police recruit / rookie ever in California

"I guess the first class at the police academy, the first thing that you notice is how old you are by comparison,” he joked. “I'm old enough to be the grandpa, not the father, the grandpa. The biggest intimidation factor was of course, the physical part of it. It is physical with the push-ups, the sit-ups, the running up and down stairs, and the weightlifting."

But Myers did make it. After 10 months in the academy, Myers graduated with the rest of Class 5724 in November.

After a lengthy background check, Myers recently began working on the UOP campus. In doing so, Myers is now the oldest known law enforcement rookie in California history.

He is working the overnight shift and still teaching during the day.

“You can call this retirement if you want,” Myers joked. “It's my version of retirement."
