Running man update

The ‘running man’ phenomenon continues to grow.

The post of our twinkle-toed staff issuing the running man challenge to police counterparts around the world had reached an astonishing 24 million people as we headed into the weekend.

The original post on the NZ Police Recruitment Facebook page had received more than 7.8 million views.

New York Police Department was the first to respond in kind. Scotland was probably the keenest, doing it twice. Australia’s Northern Territories broke our hearts. We didn’t mean it, NT. We love you really.
