Should Sudbury PD Do The Lip Sync Battle?

We've heard quite a bit on social media urging Sudbury's finest to take part in the battle that's sweeping the nation's police departments.

SUDBURY, MA—From battling the bad guys to battling through song.

For that past few months, numerous police departments across the country have participated in a lip sync battle. It works like this: the department puts together a video of its members lip syncing and dancing to a catchy tune, and then flips the challenge to another department. The officers call out other officers, and they can't wimp out, right?

Some of these videos are so good they've gone viral.
