A police chief has stunned his colleagues after showing off his piano skills while he is walking the beat.

Police Captain Prurince Dice, 44, took a musical break to play a community piano outside a shop in DeLand, Florida State, USA.

Video footage of the talented performance enchanted social media followers after it was posted on the DeLand Police Department’s social media platforms on 18th January.

The veteran cop – with 16 years of service – is seen playing a complicated song on the badly out-of-tune upright piano marked ‘Play Me’.

Twitter user Ryan Burkett commented: “Great job, Captain Dice! I remember you with the Albany Police Dept. during my time in South Georgia at WALB. Nicely done!”

While another user named Diana Guirlinger praised Dice by saying: “He’s got the skills to pay the bills.”

And then a third user named Julie Smith added: “Outstanding!!! Thank you.”

The 44-year-old husband and father of two, has spent long years serving as the minister of music in his church in his home city of Americus, Georgia State.

He is a valued member of several professional organizations and community groups, according to police.
