DETROIT – Detroit police officers are showing off their dance moves as part of a viral video craze known as the Running Man Challenge. 

In the video, officers do a variation of the running man to the 90s song "My Boo" by Ghost Town DJs. The backdrop for the video is several downtown landmarks, such as the GM Renaissance Center, the river front and the Joe Louis fist. 

The department posted it on their Facebook page. You can watch the entire video here:

The video ends with Chief James Craig issuing challenges to the Cincinnati, Philadelphia and Chicago police departments. There is also an ad with information on how to apply to "Join the best of the best" at the Detroit Police Department. 

The #runningmanchallenge viral video craze was started by teens in New Jersey. They were recently on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" to explain why they did it. You can watch the interview with Ellen here.
