Bidding farewell can be a bittersweet moment and an officer who worked as a school resource officer at Don Lugo High School in California, Officer Ryan Tillman, said goodbye to the students in style.
When he was promoted to Chino Police Corporal, Officer Tillman decided to do something special for the students, making sure they won’t forget him any time soon.
Working alongside the school’s principal and a dance team, he offered an incredible surprise performance that wowed everyone. After all, dancing liberates the soul, and this man who brings a ray of sunshine even during the darkest of days, seems to know that best.
During the school assembly, when everyone gathered at the gymnasium, Officer Tillman joined the dance students as Lil Mama’s Lip Gloss started playing. Needless to say, the students erupted in cheers, asking for more, so Tillman did exactly that, showed more of his dancing abilities as the song switched to MC Hammer’s U Can’t Touch This.
Officer Tillman offered an unforgettable moment when he pulled off some fancy dance moves from the 90s.
The best thing of all? He danced in his police uniform.
His time as a school resource officer was a fun one, so he wanted to show his gratitude to the students and the school staff, as well as to “shine a positive light” on police officers.
“I wanted to make a big exit, so I thought, what better way than to dance?” Officer Tillman told NBC Los Angeles.
Another school resource officer commented, commending Tillman’s courage, “I’m also an SRO, but I could NEVER get up in front of staff and students to dance. Kudos to you for doing it. Many people don’t realize the balance SROs must strike with young people at their schools.”
Officer Tillman isn’t only appreciated by the school students but also by the entire community.
He founded Breaking Barriers United, an organization aimed at “bridging the gap between law enforcement and the communities they serve.”
Millions of people have seen the video of Officer Tillman’s energetic performance.
“Every city needs a cop like you! Great job!” one person commented, and we can’t agree more.
