Immersing himself in the moment, Scherb even mimicked the song’s lyrics and showcased some impressive ’80s dance moves to a contemporary hit. After a while, Deputy Reed, another police officer, joined in, surprising everyone with dance moves that a seasoned officer wouldn’t typically consider.
Their enjoyment came to an abrupt halt when Chief Deputy Evan entered and joined them in the elevator. The two officers fell silent, suppressing their dance personas while the chief was present. Once he exited, however, they promptly resumed their dance, with Deputy Murphy joining in seamlessly, synchronizing with Scherb and Reed in executing the iconic moves of the song.
As the clip neared its end, Sheriff Bill Elder joined the scene, causing the three officers to stand quietly as if nothing had occurred. To their astonishment, Elder suddenly began to dance, and they gleefully followed suit.
The video has already garnered nearly nine million views on Facebook, with commenters expressing joy at witnessing the lighthearted side of their courageous defenders.
“I loved the video EPC! It’s good to let civilians see that officers are human and have a sense of humor too! Even though we have to put on that serious and professional face when dealing with them on a call,” remarked one viewer.
“This made my morning watching it here on TV in Las Vegas, NV. Congratulations Deputy Scherb on your retirement. Have fun and enjoy. Thank you for your years of service and sacrifice. God bless you and the rest of the men and women in uniform,” shared another.
