The show is hosted by Becky and Dave, who pretend they are police officers as they host this show. As usual, they continue with their goofy antics, doing things wrong because they don't follow directions as explained, they get into trouble, etc. All the while they introduce us to various police officers in different settings and situations. They ask the officers questions about their jobs and the officers answer them in a manner that is not condescending or patronizing to children.

We visit a testing facility for police cars, police using cars, motorcycles, horses, and bicycles. We take a ride on a police helicopter and on a police boat. Various equipment is demonstrated such as surveillance tracking equipment on the helicopter and boat. We even meet a police dog and Dave and Becky end up locked inside a jail cell by accident. The use of police guns is briefly mentioned and explained they are used for emergency purposes only. Lastly, we learn what happens when someone dials "911".

Both my children love this video and others in the series. I highly recommend this police car video and other videos in this series for their good sound and video quality, accurate information, and interesting subject matter. If your child is interested in the chosen subject (police car, trains, etc.) then they will love the video!

My 2 year old son loves,There goes a fire truck,bulldozer,truck,train.My Mom bought him this tape and he loves it as well.It not only shows kids police cars, but helicopters,K-9 dog units, and Mounted police unit as well.It keeps his attention throughout the tape,and when it's over he wants to watch it again!

I hate that we own this video!! Of all the "There Goes a..." videos, this one is ALL FLUFF!! I love the concept of these videos but was really dissappionted in this one: Dave and Becky are particularly annoying with their futile attempts at humor in very un-funny fiascos that even my kids were bored with- and they LOVE these videos!! Do your family a favor, and skip this one, but get others that ARE GREAT: Dumptrucks, Tractors, Bulldozers and Trains, to name a few. ENJOY!!

Deputy Dave and Deputy Becky are at their charming, goofy best as they explore the world of police vehicles and equipment, including cars, helicopters, boats, bikes, horses, radios and body equipment. They also spend some time with a K-9 unit and get locked in a jail cell. The usual antics are funny and not as perilous as is sometimes the case in the series. Kids love these videos and it won't drive the adults crazy.

My 2 year-old son has most of the videos in the "There Goes a ..." series, and this is one of the best. It's informative and fun. "Officer" Dave and "Officer" Becky learn all about police work, including police cars, motorcycles, helicopters, bicycles, dogs, and horses. Dave and Becky's antics are actually funny in this one. It's well edited and very entertaining. My son asks for it over and over.

Kids age 2 up will watch this over and over. My son is 3 and has been watching the whole line of "There goes a" videos over for a year with no signs things will change soon. What did he ask Santa for? A new "There goes a" video! We now own 6 and have rented all the others multiple times. Forget all the PC people who say Dave and Becky sometimes aren't PC enough - it's all obviously in fun and won't even be noticed by your kids much less affect them in any way.

Fun and informative. A little goofy sometimes, but hey, it's for KIDS! My son, wife, and I watch it all the time. We have had the video for 2 years and (like all the Dave shows)we still love it. You won't regret buying it...fun, fun, fun.

All I ask of the irritating, condescending "Dave" character is that he not hog center stage ALL the time. In "There Goes A Bulldozer," he stays out of the way well enough that I could suffer him through 60-odd (and counting, sigh...) viewings.

NOT the case in this one -- even my 3 year-old couldn't watch it more than two or three times, (thank goodness!)
