![]() ![]() “Officers really got psyched about it when we got challenged,” Kunz said. Over the next few days, officers submitted hundreds of song ideas, according to Kunz. Walker sent out a text to the department group text fishing for song ideas. Kunz said by the time Homedale issued its challenge, the Ontario agency had already gotten several requests from Ontario residents to produce a video. Officer Casey Walker and his daughter did the editing. Ontario officers produced the video on their own time. They involved the Ontario Fire Department to show that police officers can also be taught to save cats stuck in trees. Throughout the video, officers are shown dancing and singing along with the music, reenacting police tasks such as chasing down someone suspected of breaking the law, and lip syncing in their cars. The officers begin grooving. Shortly after, Kunz stops their fun, but then starts to lip sync to “Unstoppable” by The Score, which plays for the remainder of the video. The officers appear to have been given a final answer from the chief, but then the video cuts to outside and “Back In Black” by AC/DC starts playing. His officers start demanding they reenact a scene from the 2004 movie “Napoleon Dynamite.” The local video begins with a short skit in which Police Chief Cal Kunz leads a meeting and says that the department won’t be participating in the challenge.
