Police Routine
Dramatic reveal
How the Police Routine works
We arrange for plain-clothes or uniformed officers to ‘arrive’ and speak to a chosen guest or table. The officers act serious and take the guest away for a short moment, building tension in the room. When the audience is wondering what’s happening, the officers return and launch into song, turning the drama into a big, funny musical moment.
We time the reveal to fit your meal service and play with the crowd’s curiosity. The act can be played cheeky or straight-faced depending on what you want. We also coordinate with venue staff so the moment is safe and runs smoothly.
Planning and timing
We start planning with you and the venue to pick the best moment for the surprise, usually during dinner or right before speeches. We check guest lists and seating to pick the right person to involve and make sure the venue team knows when and where we’ll be working.
We rehearse entrances and exits so nothing looks staged. If you want a gentler surprise, we keep things light; if you want a loud, viral moment we ramp up the energy and end with a big sing-along.
What to expect on the night
Expect the room to go quiet, then confused, then erupt into laughter and applause. Guests often record the moment, and the reveal becomes a highlight in the photos. Our singers stay in costume and finish the set strong, giving you that wow moment without any awkward aftershock.
We’ll talk through any guest sensitivities beforehand so the surprise stays fun for everyone and keeps the mood exactly where you want it.
