Sergeant Murphy riding his motorcycle
Sergeant Murphy is a police dog motorcylist who is often present in street and road scenes. He and his wife, Mrs. Murphy, have a daughter named Bridget Murphy. He is dedicated to his job. His name and character are a reflection on the stereotypical Irish-American policeman. He even has an Irish/Brooklyn accent. He does his job well and everyone thanks him for it. Sergeant Murphy typically drives a motorcycle, although in Richard Scarry's Best Silly Stories and Songs Video Ever, he drives a police car instead. Sergeant Murphy is never mentioned by his first name, not even by his own wife.
He appeared in Richard Scarry books, Richard Scarry's Best Videos Ever, The Busy World of Richard Scarry, Busytown Mysteries and Richard Scarry educational video games.
