Policing is a challenging profession, and it’s always a delight to encounter officers who can balance the seriousness of their job with a touch of humor.
A perfect example of this is the Police Department in Saskatoon, Canada, who recently participated in a lip-syncing contest.
Their song of choice is none other than the Backstreet Boys’ hit, and their performance is nothing short of hilarious.
The Backstreet Boys’ song “I Want it That Way” is a classic song to many people.
Despite being released in 1999, the song continues to resonate with audiences, and it’s not just the Backstreet Boys who are keeping the buzz alive.
The police officers from Saskatoon, Canada, have taken the song and made it their own, delivering a performance that is both sarcastic and fun.
The video opens with a lineup of five officers, each taking turns to lip-sync a part of the chorus.
As the video progresses, it transforms into a full-blown music video, complete with a police airplane.
The officers didn’t hold back in their commitment to the performance, with dozens volunteering their free time to make the video a reality.
One memorable scene features an officer standing amidst a group, donning a flight helmet and lip-syncing the lyrics with perfect hand gestures.
With each officer wholeheartedly dedicated, it makes the performance very amusing.
The Saskatoon Police went the extra mile to ensure the video’s success, filming at various locations to give it the feel of a professional music video.
Whether they rehearsed or were just familiar with the song, their lip-syncing skills are spot on.
The video also features one of Saskatoon’s K-9 officers, adding another layer of charm to the performance.
The next scene transitions to a Tim Hortons outlet, adding a quintessentially Canadian touch to the video.
The camera pans to a female officer, who is seen gazing at the donut display with a look of awe, all while continuing to lip-sync the song.
The scene then shifts to slow-motion shots of officers munching on donuts.
The officers didn’t stop at donuts, though. The next scene showcases them in costumes, complete with special effects.
Some officers even wear superhero outfits, adding a different touch to the performance.
The grand finale is a spectacle to behold, featuring officers dressed as superheroes, a smoke machine, flashing lights, and even the SWAT team.
A SWAT officer emerges from the top of an armored vehicle, lip-syncing to “I Want it That Way.”
The scene is a testament to the officers’ commitment to the lip-syncing contest, and it’s no surprise that the video has gone viral.
The video’s virality is well-deserved, with many people having watched the comical performance.
The Saskatoon Police’s lip-syncing video has been viewed by people worldwide, presenting the police in a light that the public rarely gets to see.
We’re accustomed to seeing the stern, rigid side of law enforcement, so witnessing officers with a sense of humor is a refreshing change.
