In the show, the pups and Ryder respond to issues that happen around Adventure Bay, the fictional town. They’ve helped their Mayor find her pet chicken and have assisted on figuring out a monster that was on the loose, with all adventures having messages of being helpful. “Chase is on the case” is often shouted by the main pup, Chase, the police dog who is seen as somewhat of the leader of the dogs.
On June 2nd the Official Paw Patrol announced it would mute its content until June 7th in order to allow black voices to be heard:

In the wake of everything that’s happening in the US right now, people have come for Paw Patrol and now we have to ask: is Paw Patrol ending?
On June 9, 2020, Paramount Network, which airs the long-standing TV show Cops, announced the show was being removed from air and had no set return date. As reported by Distractify.
The New York Times took a look into the protests and demand for change and how it’s impacting all areas of policing, including cartoon ones. “It’s a joke, but it’s also not,” Amanda Hess writes for NYT. “As the protests against racist police violence enter their third week, the charges are mounting against fictional cops, too. Even big-hearted cartoon police dogs — or maybe especially big-hearted cartoon police dogs — are on notice.”
Eric Trump (among many others) seeing how far the revolution has spread had this to say about it:
Now the left wants to cancel “Paw Patrol.” These people are truly insane…

it tells you a lot about the media that the NYT is more worried about cancelling paw patrol than the 40 million unemployed americans
