''The Rookies'' is an American police procedural series that aired on ABC from 1972 until 1976. It follows the exploits of three rookie police officers working in an unidentified city for the fictitious Southern California Police Department (SCPD). History The success of Joseph Wambaugh's book, ''The New Centurions'', as well as NBC's ratings success with '' Adam-12'', had sparked interest at the time in a more realistic depiction and storytelling of the typical uniformed police officer.
