Paramus NJ, on September 9, 2025, the Paramus Police Department dropped a side-splitting six-minute spoof video recreating the infamous 1994 OJ Simpson chase on Route 17, vying for a fully equipped Ford Bronco in a statewide competition. Starring “Real Housewives of NJ” star Frank Catania and The Grinch, this Bergen County masterpiece is racking up Instagram likes to win big. From a miniature horse to wrestler Enzo Amore, here’s why this viral video is the talk of NJ in 2025!
Paramus PD’s Epic Spoof: A Route 17 Chase Like No Other
The Paramus Police Department unleashed a comedic gem on September 9, 2025, entering the All-American Ford statewide competition for a customized Ford Bronco. Filmed along Route 17, the six-minute video parodies the 1994 OJ Simpson chase, featuring a fake carjacking with Frank Catania as the “victim” and The Grinch—Paramus PD’s recurring villain—behind the wheel of a white Bronco. “It’s been 30 years since I’ve seen this,” newscaster Scott Ferrall quips, setting the tone.
Chief Robert Guidetti declares catching The Grinch a “top priority,” sparking a wild chase filled with Bergen County flair. The video’s Instagram likes will decide if Paramus wins the Bronco, and they’re pulling out all the stops with cameos like a miniature horse, two girls in a toy Bronco, and wrestler Enzo Amore.
Star-Studded Humor: Bergen County’s Finest Shine
Directed with tongue-in-cheek brilliance, the video features Captain Jimmy Teehan briefing officers to hunt the “Bronco who could catch that Bronco.” The montage includes hilarious local touches: a tiny horse at a Paramus farm, kids cruising in an electric toy Bronco, and Enzo Amore flexing outside police HQ. The Grinch, a repeat offender from past Paramus PD videos, adds a playful nod to local lore.
This isn’t Paramus’s first viral hit—2024’s Christmas-themed Grinch chase also racked up views. With Bergen County’s knack for creative policing, like Ridgewood’s 2025 utility fire response, Paramus is stealing the spotlight in NJ’s social media scene.
Why It Matters: Community Pride and Police Creativity
The Paramus PD’s video isn’t just about laughs—it’s a masterclass in community engagement. By blending pop culture, local celebrities, and Bergen County charm, the department is boosting morale and showcasing their creativity. Winning the Ford Bronco would equip officers with a state-of-the-art vehicle for patrols, enhancing safety in a bustling retail hub like Paramus, home to Garden State Plaza.
With NJ police departments competing fiercely, Paramus’s video stands out, but they need your likes to win. It’s a fun way to support local heroes who keep Bergen County safe, from catching burglars in Teaneck to fighting fires in Ridgewood.
