In a most unusual, one-man community outreach, Kansas City police officer J. Krebs recently engaged in a dance-off with some residents of younger age.
Suffice it to say, he lost. But he won at life.
Cop Challenges Kids to Dance-Off
Although Krebs' dance moves are hilariously bad, the gesture was anything but. He hopes this sort of thing will help open up the lines of communication.
"When I joined the force I told them I wanted to build rapport with the community," he said. "I feel like if we build a rapport, they are more likely to call when they need us."
Krebs' partner, Officer Smith, offered the kids Jolly Ranchers if they agreed to dance, while Natalie Garcia, a local resident, was present to film the scene.
"He was pretty fun. I'm glad that he's not, like, trying to show us that cops can be bad but also cops can be cool to little kids," Garcia said.
The Kansas City Police Department uploaded the dance-off video to their Facebook page, where it has gotten more than 360,000 views.
The KCPD also shared a recent video of officers stopping to hoop it up with people in a city park. No word if they lost just as badly at that.
