(NEWS 8) - Law enforcement agencies around the country are taking part in the Lip Sync Challenge that has gone viral and after the California Highway Patrol stepped up to the mic last week, the San Diego County Sheriff's Department added their voices to the mix Monday.
The sheriff's office dropped their Lip Sync Challenge video around midday on Vimeo, YouTube and their social channels. The video features "Best Day of My Life" by American Authors and showcases different personnel including officers, dispatchers, and even San Diego Sheriff Bill Gore.

The CHP released their Lip Sync Challenge Friday, August 3 and the nearly six minute video had received thousands of views on the CHP’s YouTube page by that afternoon.
The video takes you on a tour of California’s iconic spots, such as San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge, wine country, the beach and the USS Midway here in San Diego.
Oh, and let’s not forget the surprise cameo appearance from legendary TV highway patrolman, Erik Estrada, who is heard telling officers: “I know you’re the best, you’re elite and you’re tops in cops, but I’m from Hollywood and this is how we do it. You fix your hair. Then we roll.”
Cue the music…

The well-produced video enlisted help and talent from various CHP divisions around California with one exception, the CHP Northern Division, which was unable to participate due to the emergency situation happening with the devastating wildfires in the northern parts of the state.
"It just shows that we are people too and can dance and be silly and have fun. It's an opportunity for law enforcement to show the public that we are humans and we go home to families - just like everybody else," said CHP Officer Josh Nelson.
Other law enforcement agencies around the Golden State have gotten in on the Lip Sync Challenge action. Here's a look at their videos:
