Video of the footage shows a female MCPD officer, bright-eyed and smiling, calling apprehended individuals "n****s," as several other officers draw up what appear to be citations at a local area gas station.
"We are currently in the process of reviewing all video footage. We have reached out to the persons involved in the incident," the statement adds, noting that additional information is "forthcoming."
It is presently unknown why or when the individuals were confronted by officers, and if the racial slur-flinging officer will be placed on suspension during the review.
