A VIDEO of a bald and burly Delaware police officer enthusiastically lip-synching to Taylor Swift’s Shake it Off is getting global attention.
The video, posted to the Dover Police Department’s Facebook page Friday, shows Master Cpl Jeff Davis in uniform, driving a patrol car while lip-synching to the popular pop song — sassy head rolls and finger-pointing included.
Department spokesman Cpt Mark Hoffman said Saturday that he’s gotten calls about the video from news outlets in Australia, England, Germany, and throughout the U.S. It’s already amassed nearly a million views on YouTube.

In an interview with Fox News, Davis said the force made the video to show that cops are people too.
“With all of the negative publicity the police have been getting nationwide and worldwide, I think it was a good thing to show a little, the lighter side of the police,” Davis said.
“We are human and we have a tough job to do. We just wanna kind of make a funny video to show that we’re all human.”
Hoffman says Davis, a 19-year veteran, is “the class clown” and loved making the video. He says the 48-year-old father of four knows the song so well because of his 10-year-old daughter.
Though Tay Tay is extremely active on social media, she hasn’t mentioned the video yet.
