The Hong Kong police have initiated an internal inquiry into an officer who featured in a viral video showcasing a dance with a dog-ear filter, according to a police spokesperson.
The video, captured in the city, garnered significant attention on platforms in mainland China, such as Douyin, the Chinese equivalent of TikTok. The clip was captioned "It's too hot. Let me fan some wind."
The police have confirmed that the woman in the video is an active-duty police officer. They are taking the matter very seriously and have instructed the officer to remove the video from online platforms, the spokesperson told HKFP on Sunday.
An internal investigation is currently underway, with the police emphasizing the importance they place on the conduct and image of their officers. Any misconduct discovered will be handled severely, the spokesperson added.
The officer's identification numbers on the sleeves of her uniform were obscured in the video. While some viewers praised her appearance, others questioned whether she was indeed a genuine police officer.
The Police General Orders strictly prohibit any behavior that could bring the force into disrepute or damage an officer's professional image.
