The Rookie: Feds |
John Nolan, a man in his forties, joins the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) after suffering after a traumatic bank robbery. He and two other rookies, Lucy Chen and Jackson West, participate in procedure crime with the help of their TOs (training officers), Angela Lopez, Talia Bishop, and Tim Bradford. As the show furthers, some of the TOs improve in the ranks, and some quit. John Nolan's TO, Talia Bishop, did not return for Season 2 and was replaced with Nyla Harper for the remainder of John's rookie period. Jackson West also gets a new TO for the remainder of his rookie period after Angela Lopez gets promoted to detective, Doug Stanton, a racist bad cop who wants everyone to respect the police force and sometimes abuses his power to spread his message. In the Season 3 finale, Angela Lopez and Jackson West are kidnapped during Angela's wedding. In the Season 4 premiere, Jackson West was shot and killed after attempting to save Angela. The show afterward continues with Nyla Harper getting a new rookie, Aaron Thorsen, who was involved in a murder case but was found not guilty.
