The Regional Command of the Public Security Police (PSP) of Madeira shared on Facebook and Instagram a video of a uniformed agent dancing, while people sing to him the song 'Dormi na Praça', by the Brazilian country music duo Bruno and Marrone.

In just a few hours, the video went viral, garnering thousands of likes, more than 200 shares, and 50 comments.

"The uniform does not always mean full-time seriousness. We are also people, we also smile, we also dance. To the sound of a song that many know, our colleague could not resist demonstrating that being a police officer also means creating moments of joy, getting closer to the community and humanising our mission. Because security is also about empathy, respect and good humour", according to the PSP website.

The comments on the video are almost all positive, praising the police officer's good disposition.
