A  video released on social networks comparing members of the National Police  Zumba dancing to other personnel working out with weights and chin-ups sparked a debate on the effectiveness of the aerobic exercise.

But on Sunday, August 4 Police Chief   Jorge Miranda  who has promised a fitness campaign for all ranks, came down on the side of the dancers "Zumba is an exercise that has helped many people improve their health" and said he has no problem with police officers doing any activity that can get them in shape.

Miranda said has seen the video and reminds citizens that the better physical conditions the police have, the better they will be able to do their job in each of the communities.
