At an age where most are at the peak of their career, Nolan cast aside his comfortable, small town life and moved to L.A. to pursue his dream of being a cop. Now, surrounded by rookies twenty years his junior, Nolan must navigate the dangerous, humorous and unpredictable world of a "young" cop, determined to make his second shot at life count.

Jared and Jenson! Good to see them again, but I hate these docu-type episodes.
Loved that Jensen and Jared had a small part in this one, would have been even more fun if the brought in some of the Buffy cast since Nathan played a demon in the last few episodes of that show
Hate all these documentary episodes.
