* TokenGoodCop: Many cops in the show are LawfulStupid (with the odd DirtyCop thrown in) and disregard some correct hunches of Dan Stark (who avoids this trope himself, despite his heroic instincts and keen nose for crime, due to being an occasional pervert with no grasp of the roles forensic and surveillance technology or Due Process play in modern policing). Dan's partner Jack, [[DownplayedTrope while not quite as smart as he thinks he is]], tries to rein in Dan's worst excesses, hear out his theories, and support him in a fight. By the last quarter of the show, the same can be said of eager forensics tech Samantha and a post-DefrostingTheIceQueen Lieutenant Ruiz.

* SmokescreenCrime: One episode has the VillainOfTheWeek set up a bank robbery to be performed by expendable henchmen (including [[MinionWithAnFInEvil "the worst getaway driver in the business"]]). This was only meant to draw the entire Dallas police force to that location so the villain could set off explosives on the bridge between the cops and a jewelry store, which was his ''real'' target. [[spoiler:Jack and Dan figure out the plot just in time [[SpannerInTheWorks to scare the thieves off]], but aren't able to catch them. Their presence does make the legitimately dangerous crooks wonder if their ManipulativeBastard of a boss had set ''them'' up to be the fall guys, however, leading them all to kill each other off.]]
