A Life Changing Moment | The Rookie

Happy Divorce Day!
John Nolan is a 45-year-old divorcé, on his way to the bank, to put his old wedding ring in a safety deposit box. Whilst there, a group of armed criminals attempt to rob the bank! In a moment of bravery, Nolan distracts the lead robber long enough for his friend to hit the police alert button.
Perhaps a career change is exactly what Nolan needs...?
From Season 1 Episode 1 “Pilot”: John Nolan is a 45-year-old divorcé who, after witnessing (and preventing) a bank robbery in his small town, packs up his entire life to move to Los Angeles and become a cop.
Welcome to the OFFICIAL The Rookie KZbin channel!
Follow John Nolan, a forty-five-year-old man, who leaves the comfort of his small-town life to pursue his dream of becoming a police officer for the Los Angeles Police Department. Enjoy the show's best moments all in one place, as Nolan and his fellow Rookies learn to deal with not only their duties as police officers but also the ones in their personal lives. We're not at the academy anymore...

It's not even weird for a 45-year-old to be a rookie cop. I know a retired Marine Corp vet who was about the same age after a 20-year career with the USMC, he's doing just fine as a cop

[@DarkLordDiablos]

Difference being the Ex-Marine has all the necessary basic skills to be a Cop, they just need the help to rehabilitate them back to civilian life like in the season 3 episode 11 New Blood when one of the new Rookies turns out to be Ex-Military and Bradford is assigned as her TO, he trains her totally different to how he trained Lucy with her like Nolan coming from a civilian background.

[@Mystic_Apollo]

Think it's basically a principle of anywhere, you have a boot camp like setting where they teach you all the basics and rules and how everything's supposed to be done, but then every department and every officer has there own way of doing things with adjustments that still fit within the broad term rules
