A New York Police Department (NYPD) officer has come under fire for an unusual transgression—lighting the dance floor up with a racy pole performance in a music video.
Melissa Mercado, a detective in the NYPD’s Special Victims Unit found herself at the center of controversy after the videoclip, prominently featuring her as the main model, was published by World Star Hip Hop in early February.
Members of Mercado’s unit, which deals with cases involving sexual assault and domestic violence, were caught off guard by the video, with one detective allegedly stating that they “[Had] no words.”
