"Officer Dave" Hood, the cocreator and host of the energetic There Goes a... series of videos, partners up with "Officer Becky" to look inside and outside the workings of a contemporary police car. Playing a policeman for the day, Hood shows us the many crime-fighting and safety features in a peace officer's vehicle, and--typical of the series--that includes an amusing goof factor in which Hood invariably screws something up. The video's title doesn't really suggest the range of police vehicles Hood introduces to youngsters. The action also includes a quick look at police helicopters and police boats, and the exciting footage takes kids not only on the highway but on the sea and in the air. This production might be best suited for slightly older kids (post-toddler but pre-school or early school age), due to the greater-than-usual extent of Hood's detailed descriptiveness. --Tom Keogh

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 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.

5 out of 5 stars one of the best of this popular kids video series   November 7, 2002

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.

1 out of 5 stars THE WORST "there goes a.." VIDEO to date!!   October 22, 2003

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!!
