Colombian cop gains two million followers after images go viral

A Colombian police officer has gone viral after footage emerged of her marshalling a football game, wearing a tight-fitting police uniform.

Alexa Narvaez, 28, shot to 1.8 million followers on Instagram after she was filmed patrolling a game for América de Cali, currently second in the league.

On Instagram, the ‘digital ambassador’ has received much attention from fans for her figure and fit – which she remains appreciative of.

She posted last week: ‘Here we work, we celebrate and each day I love even more what I am and do.

‘I am a fan but for the love of what I do I love when a team from our city wins.’ 

The latest post took the account to new heights after a similar video shot from behind Alexa showed the officer walking around an empty pitch – receiving 130k likes.

Full name Gina Alexandra Pinzon Narvaez – dubbed ‘Colombia’s sexiest policewoman’ – already has more than two million followers on other channels, like TikTok – where she has 2.2mn followers.

She has also secured contracts advertising with brands and has two ventures of her own called Matiz Color G&D and Alexa TED Capsulas.

Still, she says she would not give up her day job to become a model or influencer, despite receiving many offers.

Instead, she wants to be a positive role model for young girls, showing them they can be both beautiful and brave. 

On social media, she retains an active presence sharing footage of her at work and trying out different outfits while hitting the gym.

In one post, pictured wearing a bikini, she wrote: ‘Pretty, not gorgeous… I love who I am, I love seeing myself and feeling good, not only physically but also internally, my peace, my tranquility today is unique and I feel happy, I am a full woman wherever you see.’

The post now has 94,000 likes on Instagram. 

Alexa is also a fan of animals, sharing pictures of her dogs, Teo and Zeus, as well as content of her riding motorbikes.

As ‘digital ambassador’ of the police force, she is a serving officer but also invites citizens to visit tourist hotspots across the country.  

Narvaez is often pictured in the national team’s kit, celebrating Colombia. 

She went viral on TikTok walking around the sidelines of the Estadio Olimpico Pascual Guerrero in Cali, receiving 6.5mn views – and more than 6,000 comments.

One user joked: ‘How is this video 3 hours long[?] crazy’

In a follow up, she posted a video of her celebrating a penalty from the sidelines, seen 32.5mn times at the time of writing.

User Darius wrote: ‘Man ain’t NOBODY looking at the baseball game’

Another commented: ‘I think I need to be arrested.’ 

One user wrote, in all caps: ‘YOU ARE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING THAT THE POLICE HAVE MAMACITA’ 

Not all have been entirely supportive of Alexa’s content, however, some feeling it undermines the police force.

User Andrés Jaramillo wrote: ‘It is sad to know how the National Police lends itself to recruiting these types of women, they seem to be on the catwalk, wearing a super tight uniform.

He continued: ‘What disrespect to force! What a lack of authority!’

Another jabbed: ‘I don’t understand if she’s a cheerleader or a police officer, someone please enlighten me.’ 

But Alexa reportedly started her TikTok account to connect with the community she serves and show a different side of the job. 

In older posts, Alexa focused far more on publishing cop-related content, shown in 2021 wearing an olive green uniform with other officers during a minute of silence for fallen heroes.

Otherwise, she still works full time as a police officer, settling neighbourhood disputes on top of patrolling games.

Other employers have been less supportive of how staff express themselves online.

Kimberly Villalobos Zuniga, 26, resigned from her job in the Chilean Air Force after she was told her posts were undermining the service’s reputation.

She said: ‘They started throwing sanctions at me for nothing… I knew that they were reviewing my profile.’
