NORFOLK, Va. (WVEC) -- The Norfolk Police Department NAILED their #LipSyncChallenge on July 9th, and they passed the challenge on and Hampton fired back!
The challenge started out as a thing in Texas, but now it's across the U.S. Police officers in cars, lip-syncing to pop songs, posting the videos to social media and issuing a challenge to the next officer.
The men and women in blue in Norfolk performed a one-shot take lip sync to Bruno Mars' 'Uptown Funk.' The Norfolk Police Department was challenged to participate in a country-wide battle by a Texas police station in Corinth.
