Wisconsin first responders come together in music video (again)

By Suzie Ziegler 

BELOIT, Wis. — First responders in Rock County, Wisconsin, showed off their musical talent and dance skills with a new music video. 

Earlier this month, the Rock County 911 Communications Center shared the “Sheesh” music video on YouTube, which shows cops, firefighters and more responders grooving to music by Surfaces and Tai Verdes. In the video, employees throw a beach party in the dead of a Wisconsin winter, complete with a cookout, kayaking (on a frozen lake), snow angels and other chilly lawn games. 

The video is part of an effort to humanize public safety personnel and engage the community, reported WCLO Radio. The communications center produced a similar project in 2015 to “Uptown Funk” by Bruno Mars. You can find that music video here.
