The hardest lesson for a rookie CO to learn is the difference between forcing respect and earning it. New CO Andrew's aggressive approach rubs inmates the wrong way while Keith tries to get ahead of a potentially volatile situation. Francisco confronts a lying inmate and Ariel faces her first day on the line. And for one Rookie, the job proves to be too much.

As the Phase Two participants settle into the Fulton County Jail and new ones enter, inmate feuds and power-plays bring participants face to face with real danger and real charges.

In Detroit, Officer Joseph "Brain" Weekley and the team are called to the scene of a barricaded gunman who is possibly schizophrenic and off his medication. Officer Jason "Diesel" Brasgalla attends college classes and finds it hard trying to balance work, family and school all at once. Brasgalla joins the rest of SWAT team for an intense narcotics raid.

When Dallas patrol officers respond to a disturbance call, they find an armed parole violator intent on not returning to jail. The suspect fires at police and barricades himself in a bathroom. SWAT Officers Todd Welhouse and Misty Vancuren are called in to set-up a perimeter. All the while, SWAT negotiator J.D. Byas tries to talk the man out safely, even after a raging fire breaks out in his apartment. Later, Todd and his team are called in to execute a search warrant on a house used by suspected drug dealers. Todd's job is to neutralize an armed suspect guarding the front door before his teammates walk through it--and into the line of fire.

The shocking story of how two young boys were led to kill their father, and the unique way that the State of Florida delivered justice in the case.

Rookie Dennis Cooper's wife is about to give birth to a baby girl. Dennis is asked to control an angry juvenile arrested on gun charges, then restrain a grieving a husband after a tragic hit and run accident, causing this father-to-be to start questioning his decision to join the TPD family. Rookie Hugh Herndon passed the first week of Tampa's rigorous Rookie training program, but this former schoolteacher's new classroom are the streets of Tampa; a world that includes drug dealers, prostitutes, and auto thieves who are going to teach Hugh more than he bargained for.

Mark Monson completed 12 weeks of field training and is about to be assessed by his sergeant...for the second time. During his first evaluation Mark choked and had to go back and train longer with his FTO. His law enforcement career rides on his performance tonight. If he passes this time, Mark gets his own squad car and begins solo patrol as a Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Deputy. If he fails again his life-long dream of becoming a cop could come to an end. Before starting the evaluation Sergeant Mike Corrone takes Mark on a sobering and emotional side trip. Later the pressure is on when Mark tries to handle a simple traffic stop, and the results of his evaluation become uncertain.

Rookie A.J. Cafaro's only previous law enforcement experience was throwing people out of the bar he used to manage. A.J. goes on his first search warrant assault then witnesses his first dead body, and soon begins to question if maybe throwing drunks out of a bar was not so bad. Former High school English teacher Hugh Herndon decided to trade his chalk and blackboard for a Tampa police badge and a 9mm handgun. But when the Rookie hits the gritty streets of Tampa where he has to break up a violent melee and sees crack for the first time, the only question is will Hugh be up to the test.

Rebecca Webster was the only female rookie in her Academy® class. She knows that as a woman in a man's world, she's going to have to work twice as hard to prove herself. However, Rebecca's rush to do everything on her own just might backfire on her. As rookie John Wiebelt and his FTO patrol in a bad area, John notices a group of men on the corner--one brandishing an assault rifle. Wiebelt takes the lead and the situation is quickly under control. Weeks later, during his evaluation with his sergeant, John again encounters a suspect with an automatic weapon...this time though, there are shots fired and this suspect has his sights set on the cops.

In this new series, we follow rookie police cadets from the moment they graduate the police Academy® to their introduction to life on the city's streets. It's tough being a cop anywhere, but being a rookie cop in Tampa, Fla., where the crime rate is sky-high, is one of the toughest police jobs in the country. Petite rookie Amy Hess may look like the girl next door, but after a week where she pushes a car, tests crack for the first time, and participates in her first SWAT hit, will she be able to prove "size doesn't matter"? And, on paper, hefty rookie Tommie Tolbert should have the physical size to handle almost any situation. Tommie tries to keep an irate arson victim from attacking her assailant's mother then tries to catch a fleeing criminal only to learn that maybe he has bitten off more than he can chew.

In Jefferson Parish, rookie Mark Monson has trouble taking orders from his female FTO Denise Liccardi. He's over-eager and makes basic mistakes again and again. Each rookie is evaluated by their sergeant before riding solo and Mark needs to get it together fast, or risk saying goodbye to his childhood dream of being a police officer. Henry Conravey is a Louisiana native who served his country as a Marine in Iraq. Having seen combat, Conravey has an edge over the other rookies. But when Henry and his FTO Todd Rivere respond to a "shots fired" call in a quiet neighborhood, Henry's overconfidence could actually hurt him.

A quiet Memorial Day weekend erupts when SWAT is called in to subdue a home intruder, whose startling method of entry leaves the team scratching their heads. Meanwhile, an alleged Heroin dealer is scoped out by Officer Andre Taylor who's on a mission to put him out of his deadly business. And two brothers lives take opposite turns as Senior Corporal Larry Gordon decides it's time his children finally meet their uncle, in prison for violent crimes.

Officer Owen Farris gets to lead the team when Sgt. Chip Huth goes on vacation. Farris has a chance to show what he can do when he gets a call to run a dangerous warrant on a house reported to be full of guns. But he faces a tough test: Can he bring his men through safely, or will he--like the last time Chip left him in charge--lead his men into gunfire?
