SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 1 

Commending the Norfolk Police Department. 

Agreed to by the Senate, January 16, 2020 

WHEREAS, the Norfolk Police Department earned national 
accolades in 2019 by winning the grand prize on the television special Lip 
Sync to the Rescue; and

WHEREAS, broadcast live on CBS, Lip Sync to the Rescue 
featured videos of public safety officers from around the nation lip-synching 
to popular songs in a one-hour countdown special; the Norfolk Police 
Department�s video was selected from a pool of approximately 1,000 applicants; 
and

WHEREAS, the Norfolk Police Department originally posted its 
video on Facebook in July 2018; dozens of law-enforcement officers, first 
responders, and city staff members participated in the nearly five-minute video 
set to �Uptown Funk� by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars; and 

WHEREAS, members of the Norfolk Police Department used 
borrowed video equipment and a cell phone to shoot the one-take video, which 
has received more than 80 million views; and 

WHEREAS, the Norfolk Police Department was one of 30 agencies 
to reach the live show and triumphed over the Seattle Police Department in the 
final round of voting to claim the $100,000 grand prize; and 

WHEREAS, this unique form of public outreach helped the 
Norfolk Police Department build trust and goodwill among the members of the 
community and fostered esprit de corps between the hardworking men and women of 
the department; now, therefore, be it 

RESOLVED by the Senate of Virginia, That the Norfolk Police 
Department hereby be commended on winning the grand prize on Lip Sync to the 
Rescue; and, be it 

RESOLVED FURTHER, That the Clerk of the Senate prepare a copy 
of this resolution for presentation to the Norfolk Police Department as an 
expression of the Senate of Virginia�s admiration for the department�s 
achievement.
