NYPD Detective Melissa Mercado is under scrutiny after appearing as a stripper in NYC rapper S-Quire’s racy music video. The viral clip, posted on WorldStarHipHop, triggered an internal review to determine whether she filed the required off-duty paperwork. While it's unclear if she violated department rules, Mercado has been pulled from active sex crimes cases. S-Quire and the video’s director, Pitch Perfect, claim they had no idea she was a cop. Mercado, who joined the NYPD in 2018 and earned $144K as a Bronx Special Victims detective, is now reportedly in high demand as a dancer for other music videos.
