Three wet-behind-the-ears rookie cops in a large
Southern California city provided the focus of this
series. The trio, variously fresh out of college, a
government social program, and the army, were dedicated
to new, more humane methods of law enforcement, which
often put them at odds with their hard-nosed mentor,
Lieutenant Ryker. The combination of their youthful
enthusiasm and Ryker's experienced guidance helped
mold them into effective officers.
The only married one of the three was Mike, whose wife,
Jill, was a registered nurse at Memorial Hospital. In
1974 a cast change occured when Willie was replaced
by Chris Owens, a new recruit.
