Officer Bettelheim is an officer of the Pangaea Parent Patrol in the Dinosaurs episode "License to Parent." where he is the main antagonist. He cites Earl Sinclair for bad parenting and revokes his license, subsequently doing likewise for Fran Sinclair.

When he finds himself in charge of the Sinclair children, however, the police officer finds his manual doesn't cover everything, and pulls a gun on Baby Sinclair. To save his badge, Bettelheim drops the charges (and a Dragnet spoofing end credit epilogue says he was suspended but "will be allowed to return to duty when he has thought good and hard about what he has done.")

In keeping with the episode's Dragnet elements, Bettelheim speaks in the dry staccato style of Jack Webb as Joe Friday. His name is a reference to noted child psychologist Bruno Bettelheim.
