[edit] Plot
A new mayor has announced a policy requiring the police department to accept all willing recruits. Not every one in the police force are happy about the new changes. The main character, Carey Mahoney a repeat offender who is forced to join the police academy as an alternative to jail, a proposal by the officer who has been lenient on Mahoney due to knowing his father. Mahoney reluctantly agrees to this and decides that he will get himself thrown out. However, the chief of police, outraged by the mayor's lowered requirements decides that the new cadets should be forced to quit rather than being thrown out. Lieutenant Harris, who trains the cadets, agrees with the plan and employs tactics to make their lives as miserable as possible so that they do in fact quit. Mahoney tries many schemes to get thrown out but it never happens and he can not quit because that would mean prison so he can not get out of the academy.
