When you think of a police officer, you’d think of someone who’s stern, serious, busy, and most of the time, even stressed.
Their job requires them to be alert, on time, strict, and always ready to help other people.
Have you ever wondered what they do when they have free time at the office?
Well, these officers like to dance.
El Paso County Sheriff’s Deputy Tony Scherb has gone viral.
A video of him circulated online and got over 13 million views. Can you guess what the video is all about?
This Sheriff has a hidden talent.
Turns out, Deputy Scherb knows how to dance. He became an instant Internet superstar after his elevator dance became viral.
The adorable deputy celebrated his upcoming retirement following a full 29 years of loyal service in the police force.
The YouTube video that was posted by the El Paso County Sherriff’s Office in Colorado Springs proves that even police officers can show some impressive dance moves.
The clip starts with two officials.
They’re installing a camera to help them diagnose a malfunctioning problem in elevator 2.
What they saw in the video wasn’t the cause of the malfunction, but rather a very entertaining dance number.
We see Deputy Scherb of background investigations entering the elevator. He presses “play” on his smartphone and we hear Silentó’s “Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)” playing.
Deputy Scherb didn’t waste any time.
He started dancing, and he clearly knows the steps. He was enjoying himself because he even lip-synced the lyrics of the song.
Then, the elevator door opens and Deputy Reed of the rural enforcement outreach comes in.
Deputy Reed seemed a bit hesitant, but only for a few seconds. She then danced to the upbeat song as well.
It looks like they’re having a showdown.
However, the duo completely halted their dance when the elevator door opens again. There, one of their bosses, Chief Deputy Evans, enters the elevator.
They were silent, but all three were listening to the music still playing.
As Chief Deputy Evans leaves, another officer enters.
Deputy Murphy, a school resource officer, also started dancing with Deputy Scherb and Reed.
All three were enjoying their little disco elevator when suddenly, another officer entered the elevator.
It was Sheriff Bill Elder.
All three dancing police officers became quiet at the back, but what they didn’t expect was that Sheriff Elder has some serious dance moves as well.
Everyone who saw the adorable and fun dance number loved how energetic and fun the police officers were.
This groovy deputy retired from office after a long and loyal service of 29 years.
In his years of service, they had assigned him to Court and transport, patrol, CJC Floor Security, and even as a Background Investigator.
He has received awards.
He also had been the heart and soul of the Sheriff’s Office DUI Program.
Deputy Scherb was also an instructor and had led so many new recruits.
“Tony earned the reputation from his peers and supervisors as being highly professional and exceptionally knowledgeable,” EPC Sheriff’s Office posted on their Facebook page.
Deputy Scherb wasn’t only an exceptional part of the office, but he also left a wonderful, jolly, and adorable memory for all his colleagues.
See these officers break it down to the “Nae Nae” in an elevator in the video below!
