"ROOKIES"

An unprecedented look inside one of America’s leading law enforcement academies. Court TV was given unique access to the rigorous, six-month program undergone by recruits at The Police Academy of Somerset, New Jersey. Beginning in the summer of 2001, the show examines the impact of September 11 and how officers are trained to respond to our complex and changing culture. Recruits and instructors talk candidly about the struggles and sacrifices they make to become part of the elite group
who protect our society.
