A Florida police department<\/a> went viral after launching a social media campaign aimed at boosting recruitment and bridging the gap between officers and the local community.<\/p>\n

Speaking on “Fox & Friends Weekend,” members of the Ocala Police Department discussed<\/a> the online campaign that has racked up millions of views by showcasing the human side of the people behind the badge.<\/p>\n

“Social media, being able to bring light, especially since like 2020 and all that stuff<\/a> happened, being able to bring a positive light to the police department, being able to take the serious side away from work, showing that we do have personalities,” Officer Sean Price said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“These videos certainly humanize the badge, the uniform. I think that’s a really good way of doing it, because you get caught too much in social media. There’s a lot of negative things,” he added.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, the department posted another video<\/a> accompanied by the song “Daddy’s Home” by Usher as part of the “We Do” campaign. The latest video shows officers in familiar dating scenarios while actually carrying out their duties.<\/p>\n

The video asks, “Does he open your door?” alongside footage of an officer escorting someone into a patrol car. It also features “Does he listen to you?” paired with an officer taking a statement and “Does he answer your call?” alongside a team member answering an emergency call \u2014 all answered with “We do.”<\/p>\n

The video jokingly highlights the many ways officers are serving their community and keeping people safe, and it has already reached more than 19 million views on Facebook<\/a>. Corporal Alexandria Blackman said reactions have been positive, calling it a “way for us to show who we are outside of being serious.”<\/p>\n

“It’s a nice way to connect with the community and for them to see a funny or a lighter side of us,” she said.<\/p>\n

Price echoed those sentiments, saying he believes the positive attention could result in more applications to join the force.<\/p>\n

“I mean, with as much as it’s navigated throughout social media, with all the likes and attention we’ve got, I would just say we’ve gotten some positive attention,” Price said. He later added, “I’d say we should have some more applications coming in here soon.”<\/p>\n

Officer Clayton Brown offered a message to those considering joining the force: “I would say, one, what’s your why? You got to have a good why of coming into the job like this.”<\/p>\n

“And if it’s to reach our community, you’re [going to] be there on people’s worst days. And you have to come at it with a different outlook, a different perspective. You have to be able to see both sides of things. But I’d say if you have that itch, we need good people. So do it.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
