The Los Angeles Police Department recently shared a video of several LAPD officers and Los Angeles Sheriff deputies performing with a mariachi and folks are eating it up.

The singing police officer is Chris Reza, a member of the LAPD police force. Reza’s Twitter banner proudly states that his duty is “to protect and to serve! and occasionally sing!” Reza was one of many police officers and sheriff’s deputies who attended the 27th annual Mariachi Festival at Mariachi Plaza in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Boyle Heights. Mariachi Plaza, a place where people can hire mariachis and other musicians for parties, is a popular community gathering spot. Reza took to Instagram to share his excitement about being part of the festivities with his fellow law enforcement peers.

“Great event and a great time,” Reza wrote on Instagram. “Many thanks to my mariachi/law enforcement brothers and sisters for having the heart and vision to see this through mariachi Los Servidores.”

Several people replied to the tweet to express how impressed they were.

Music does have a way of getting people moving regardless of who sings it, tbh

Law enforcement was holding this performance down from the guitars in the background to the lead singer.

But mainly people were just happy to see their neighborhood represented.

And they might have a career in music if this whole law enforcement thing doesn’t work out.
