Let’s just say it’s definitely gotten the recognition it deserves.
A lot of people have been enjoying these police lip sync videos because it shows people a softer, more humorous side. Sometimes with their line of work and seriousness, we tend to forget that police are human too and this video is a hilarious reminder of that.
Hailing all the way from Saskatoon, Canada.
This well put together video was put together by the Saskatoon Police Service. After hearing feedback from the community they decided to take part in the challenge. With the help of dedicated volunteers who worked on their days off, holidays, and even lunch hours; They were able to create a video the internet would never forget.
“I Want It That Way”
Although this video was filmed in 2018, it still carries the same magic. The song performed in this viral video is the instantly recognizable pop hit, “I Want It That Way” by the Backstreet Boys. This 1999 classic is sure to help you feel nostalgic about your boy band phase growing up.
Well, the tables have turned.
Not only do they lip-sync, but they can also act! The beginning sets the scene with a short sketch inspired by the show, Brooklyn Nine-Nine and some honestly not bad Accapella from the officers. It’s also funny that they decided to put themselves into a lineup. It definitely sets the tone before they absolutely bring the energy for the song.
Okay, it’s a little pitchy singing but they aren’t professionals!
Cut to the outdoors.
Once the sketch ends, that’s where the real fun begins. With a complete vibe change and busting energy, these officers bring the heat. With incredible prop placement, these guys really set the scene. Giving off hefty boy band vibes, perfect timed lip-syncing, and amazing choreography, this group certainly made an impression.

You can’t forget about the dog!
We all know that dogs are an essential part of any police force. These furry friends are hardworking officers themselves, so of course, they had to make sure to include at least one in the video too. They didn’t forget to have their loyal companion in its proper attire too for the video.
The Cop Cliche.
We all know of the cliche that cops love their donuts and coffee. These officers made sure to remind us of that, but Canadian style of course! They made sure to include a hilarious clip of some officers enjoying some donuts from their local Tim Horton’s.
