Lip Sync Video From Harford County Sheriff's Office: WATCH

BEL AIR, MD — At the outset of the lip sync video just released by the Harford County Sheriff's Office, a request for service comes in over the radio. A dispatcher informs Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler that the citizens of Harford County have requested the agency take the "lip sync challenge."

Immediately, Gahler radios for backup, and more than two dozen singers and dancers, including three K-9 officers, come to his aid.

Watch the lip sync video below from the Harford County Sheriff's Office; stay tuned until the end for the blooper reel and to see who the agency challenges to make the next lip sync video:

The sheriff's office reported that it had wrapped up filming Wednesday, and within one hour of releasing the video Thursday afternoon, it has been shared more than 1,000 times on Facebook. The song choice was Justin Timberlake's "Can't Stop The Feeling."

Before creating the video, the Harford County Sheriff's Office asked the public for help picking out songs. The call for song requests netted more than 350 comments on the office's Facebook page. Among the suggestions were "Every Breath You Take" by The Police, "Bad Boys" by Inner Circle and many others.

For the last month, law enforcement agencies around the country have been challenging one another to a lip sync battle. The videos have shown a softer side to police.

The battle started in Texas when Bexar County Sheriff's Deputy Alexander Mena posted a video of himself singing "Fuiste Mala" by Kumbia Kings, according to ABC. The deputy has sparked what has become a fun exercise not just for officers but for the public as well.

The Bel Air Police Department challenged all Harford County law enforcement officers to take the lip sync challenge this week upon releasing its rendition of the "Boot-Scootin' Boogie" with help from the Explorers.

Before Bel Air police came boot-scootin' onto the scene, the Havre de Grace Police Department shared a video of its captain lip syncing "Ice, Ice Baby" by Vanilla Ice while riding around in a golf cart at the Maryland Special Olympics last month. Officers from Bowie, Baltimore County and Anne Arundel were there too.
