Detective Brown uncovers finger prints on the register (7:35). At the doorway, the detective finds more evidence (7:44). The evidence is checked at the police laboratory (7:53). Along the way the dog begins to understand the necessity of the police in his home town (8:18). A patrol vehicle leads a parade through suburban streets (8:26). The police often work with city planners to help solve issues (8:39). Another officer sits with an elderly woman in a park (8:45). Education is provided for the youth as well on laws (8:49).
