Melissa Mercado’s behavior was under review, an NYPD spokeswoman said. The department didn’t immediately answer when asked if the seven-year NYPD veteran had broken any specific rules when she appeared in the “Doin That” video by Hempstead rapper S-Quire.
Pitch Perfect, who directed the music video, told TMZ Friday that he and the rapper hired Mercado from a casting agency and were unaware of her day job.
The video was posted by the online site WorldStarHipHop and can be viewed here .
She was not named in the clip — which quickly made the rounds among the rank and file — and she wasn’t wearing anything that would identify her as an NYPD officer.
It was particularly disturbing for a sex crimes investigator to make a video that’s degrading to women, retired NYPD Special Victims Division Chief Michael Osgood told the Post.
Mercado did not return calls from The Post.
