A detective in the city police department’s special victims’ unit is raising eyebrows after appearing in a raunchy pole-dancing video that’s gone viral.
Melissa Mercado, a seven-year veteran of New York’s Finest, popped up on a music video published by World Hip Hop, which shows the curvy cop gyrating and shaking her body while wearing only a thong and a skimpy bra.
“I have no words,” one disgusted detective said.
The cop’s controversial twerking performance is in the “Doin That” video by Hempstead rapper S-Quire, whose real name is Phavian Winfield, according to Chartmetric.
“Wanna tell you ’bout a girl named Keisha,” the rapper says on the video. “A– thick. Just want to smash it quick.
“I like the way she’s doing that, the way she’s sliding up the pole,” he adds.
Mercado, a $144,000-a-year grade 3 detective assigned to Bronx special victims, joined the force in 2018, records show...
Some on the force said it’s Mercado’s business, not the NYPD’s.
“What she’s doing really has nothing to do with her as an employee, as an NYC detective,” a police union source said.
Another police source defended the scantily clad cop, saying she has “made some good collars” and is “respected by her peers.”
Retired NYPD Special Victims Division Chief Michael Osgood also questioned Mercado’s after-hours twerking gig.
“There’s a line of thinking that what you do off duty, you do off duty,” Osgood said. “But I think this conduct is unbecoming a police officer. I find it wrong morally if you’re a special victims detective.”
It’s unclear what, if any, department discipline Mercado could face over the sultry performance, but her moonlighting gig isn’t the first time an NYPD cop was caught in a compromising position.

Hopefully she doesn’t work SVU
Hopefully she doesn’t work SVU
Not the first time she’s doing undercover work!
Transfer her to the NYPD hooker unit.
Not as offensive as Al green or some of those tranny faggots in the Biden administration
C’mon, man. It’s just a hoe down!
Oy, it looks like she works SUV’s.
Officer Mercado has a bit too much junk in the trunk, if you get my drift.
Anyway, I recently watched a YouTube video of some camera guy standing on a NYC sidewalk. He was talking to two NYPD police officers. Both officers were polite. But they talked as if they were mentally challenged.
So I guess NYC takes what they can get. And that includes Officer Mercado.
Reminds me of a Blue Bloods episode. Frank was not happy.
The main problem I see is that big stupid bubble butt.
Hey!
It is NYC, what do you expect from that sewer?
Run for the hills!
You can take the Rat out of the Hood...
My friends were great cops on Staten Island. Lots of Americans of Italian descent...sharp guys.
You probably are kind of from a redneck area so really dont know much about other places where the people number more than the sheep :)
that’s ok :)
Twerking and shit.
As long as she performs her job, and gets plenty of rest before being on the job, it is her business what she does as long as it is legal. Plenty of fat cops couldn’t handle pole-dancing; at least she is getting exercise.
How can she be taken seriously after that? And a detective in SVU too???? We used to know how immoral or questionable behavior, outfits, commentary could negatively impact your job, your family, your community. Now we are all supposed to pretend it doesn’t matter. But it does.
Okay, I’ll admit it. I have a crush on Vanessa Ray (Officer Eddie Janko). But I haven’t seen every episode. Please tell me you’re talking about Officer Janko.

Ha! But no. I’m from an old mill town in the Appalachian foothills. Everyone is either the child or grandchild of someone from Eastern Europe. I’m of Hungarian descent myself, and speak the language pretty well.
Local joke: Enter any restaurant here and yell “Hey Stush!” Half the room will turn and look at you.
(Stush is Eastern European slang for “Stanley”.)
