"When I make a commitment to be somewhere, it's done, like gold," Estrada, 58, told The Star Press in an interview Monday. "And I'll be here next year too, and the year after that."
"And I hope, 30 or 40 years from now, God willing, that when it's time to put me in my grave, I'll go in my Muncie uniform and badge," he said.
Estrada will spend the week participating in various training events and will ride with officers again while on duty, said Police Chief Joe Winkle. He said an eight-hour monthly service requirement would be waived for Estrada.
The former "CHiPs" star also intends to help with the Muncie Police Department's annual "Shop with a Cop" charity event.
After filming for "Armed amp; Famous" wrapped, Estrada also received deputy status with the sheriff's department in Virginia's Bedford County.
