In a city plagued by never-ending crime, the mayor and local council are determined to hire more police officers to keep the streets safe. To achieve this, they decide to hold a contest between two police academies to determine which one will remain open and continue training new recruits. Commandant Eleanor Mauser (Sandra Oh) runs one of the academies with the help of her two sidekicks: the bumbling yet sweet Lt. Claire Proctor (Awkwafina) and the competent and grounded Stg. Josie Garcia (Jenna Ortega). Mauser is determined to keep her academy open and will do anything to win the contest, including recruiting as many cadets as possible. Cadet Shoko Nogata (Karen Fukuhara) initially enrolls at Mauser's academy but feels out of place due to the rigid environment. Seeking a more supportive and relaxed atmosphere, she decides to transfer to Lassard's academy. Despite Mauser and Garcia's efforts to retain her, Shoko's decision is respected by Proctor, who becomes her friend. As the contest heats up, Mauser and Garcia go to great lengths to win, while Lassard's cadets put in their best efforts to keep their academy in business. The competition is fierce, but the cadets learn valuable lessons about teamwork, respect, and the true meaning of being a police officer.
