The Running Man Challenge asks participants to film themselves dancing to Ghost Town DJ's song, "My Boo."
The video also is posted on a Facebook page for Detroit's police Chief James Craig, who dances a bit himself in the video and encourages officers in other departments to come work in Detroit.
With the posting, Detroit police have extended a challenge to some other police departments to participate in the dance-off.
As of Tuesday morning, the video had been viewed more than 658,000 times.
