After expanding the town's police force, series co-creator Trey Parker experimented with introducing a new, competent police chief with the [[Senior Detective]] character in the sixth season. This short-lived character was retooled into Lieutenant Dawson by the airing of "[[Lil' Crime Stoppers]]", now accompanied by a much more expansive [[Park County Police Station]] manned by dozens of detectives and police officers. The same voice would later be reused by red-haired police officer alongside [[Officer Barbrady]] in "[[Casa Bonita]]", a character who would in the eighth season be shown commanding the Park County Police as lead detective, behaving in a similar manner to Dawson and using the same body shape and voice. [[Harrison Yates|Sergeant Harrison Yates]] made his official debut in "[[The Jeffersons]]" and becoming the show's main police character afterward, where he has remained ever since. Both Dawson, Yates and [[Detective Murphey]] would make brief cameos in separate shots in "[[Britney's New Look]]", marking Dawson's final appearance in the series to date.
