They thanked them for the “vibes.”
Earlier this week, An Garda Síochána shared a video of themselves dancing. It was a response to the Swiss police force, the Federal Office of Police, in which police forces across Europe were challenged to perform a viral dance to a ‘Master KG’ song.
Dubbed the ‘Jerusalema Challenge’, the Gardaí’s attempt at the video proved to be quite a hit, as members of the squad donned their gear and threw down some moves interspersed with a few nice drone shots of Ireland – and some Irish dancing for good measure.
We have stepped up to the Swiss police @fedpolCH #JerusalemaChallenge. Gardaí across Ireland answered the call to give the public we serve a lift in these challenging times. #StayTogether #homeStaySafe pic.twitter.com/sbLdkk54hB

Understandably, the Swiss police were all over the Irish rendition of the challenge and took to Twitter yesterday to share their response.
A video shared by the Fedpol account shows a group of police carrying a black box into a building. They then remove the Irish flag from the box and hang it outside, thanking the Gardaí for “moments of pure joy.”
“GardaInfo absolutely nailed it,” they wrote. “Thank you for the vibes,” concluded the video.
