It features Police Chief William P. Tocco, Jr. and the Johnston Police Department, who explain and provide examples of police entrapment. It highlights that entrapment is when the criminal intent originated within the officer and therefore no conviction may be had. The film is made by Studio 12 Filmmakers in Johnston, Rhode Island, with Edmund Di Meglio, Jr. as production manager and executive producer. Two men stroll past a fountain through a park (00:08). They sit down on the base of a statue of a man on a horse (00:56).

The other man agrees and they decide on meeting later that evening (01:23). The other man lights a cigarette for the undercover narcotics officer (01:31). Police Chief William P. Tocco, Jr. is explaining the concept of ‘police entrapment’ and addressing common misconceptions (01:43).
