Tampa-based Rookies episodes will feature Amy Hess participating in her first SWAT hit during her first week on the job; former bar manager AJ Cafaro delivering his first search warrant and witnessing his first dead body; and April Levine collecting human bones in a plastic bag and lifting a five-day-old corpse.
Jefferson Parish-based episodes include Iraq War vet Henry Conravey and his training officer Todd Rivere responding to a "shots fired" call and other rookies trying to calm the rise in crime since Hurricane Katrina.
A&E began developing Rookies in early 2007. It is being produced for A&E Network by Tiger Aspect and The Greif Company.
