The video also attracted the attention of country music group Lady Antebellum, whose song “Need You Now” is lip synced by Middletown Police.
The group tweeted the video was “amazing.”
Muterspaw said it took about one hour to shoot the video, and while some officers were reluctant at first, he said everyone seemed to enjoy the experience.
He said it’s important to show police officers are human.
“If we brought out some smiles, then we did our job,” Muterspaw said.
