POLICE ACADEMY: CITIZENS ON PATROL – NEXT GENERATION

Feature Film – Story Treatment

LOG LINE

When the aging police academy leadership struggles to modernize, Commandant Nick Lassard—nephew of Eric Lassard—revives the classic “Citizens On Patrol” program to inspire a new generation. But when old enemies and new-age criminals collide, the original misfits join forces with fresh recruits to save the city from descending into chaos.

MAIN CAST (Legacy Characters)

Nick Lassard – Now promoted to Commandant, idealistic and desperately trying to live up to his legendary uncle.
Mahoney – Semi-retired legend; now a community outreach consultant (still charming, still bending rules).
Callahan – Academy drill instructor; tougher than ever but secretly fed up with modern “soft” recruits.
Zed – Now running a popular but chaotic community center for troubled youth.
Sweetchuck – Accident-prone but lovable; now a successful (and constantly terrified) entrepreneur.
Captain Harris – Still power-hungry, now in charge of Academy oversight.
Proctor – Harris’s assistant; still clueless, still destructive.

PLOT SUMMARY

ACT I – THE NEW COP ERA

Opening Scene – “Modern Policing”

We open with a news montage about the city’s police shortage and community tensions. The city council demands new approaches.

Cut to the Academy:
Commandant Nick Lassard is giving an earnest speech about reviving his uncle’s beloved Citizens On Patrol initiative. Harris immediately mocks the idea as “antiquated.” Proctor repeats him word for word 5 seconds later.

Nick recruits Mahoney to help create a “Cool Outreach” angle. Mahoney reluctantly agrees… mostly because he’s bored and wants an excuse to avoid a neighborhood HOA meeting.

Introducing the New Generation of Recruits

A group of modern misfits arrives:

LEXI – Tech genius, hacking police drones for fun.
JAYDEN – Ultra-confident influencer who wants to livestream everything.
KAM – Parkour whiz with extreme ADHD.
BRIAR – Stoic survivalist who distrusts technology.

Callahan tries to whip them into shape, but quickly realizes they’re nothing like the old recruits.

ACT II – CITIZENS ON PATROL 2.0

Zed & Sweetchuck Return

Mahoney and Nick convince Zed to run a community engagement class. Zed teaches “advanced screaming as a deterrent” and “creative skateboard pursuit.”
Sweetchuck arrives as a risk-management advisor and immediately gets knocked over by a Segway.

Their banter mimics their classic dynamic: Zed’s chaos vs. Sweetchuck’s panic.

Modern Training Montage

A mashup of:

Zed giving insane motivational speeches
Callahan smashing drones mid-air
Jayden filming everything
Briar teaching herbal first-aid that accidentally knocks Proctor unconscious
Kam chasing a raccoon through the academy
Lexi hacking Proctor’s electric cart into auto-reverse mode

Classic Police Academy style mayhem.

Harris’ Sabotage

Harris wants to shut down COP 2.0 so he can become Commandant. He assigns Proctor to “quietly observe,” which results in:

Accidentally releasing 40 therapy dogs
Triggering the sprinkler system during graduation rehearsal
Getting locked inside a VR training headset, screaming at virtual criminals

Nick is blamed by city officials, and COP 2.0 is threatened with cancellation.

ACT III – THE BIG CRISIS

A New Criminal Threat

A group of tech-savvy thieves calling themselves THE GRIDLOCK GANG targets city infrastructure. Harris insists on handling it “the old-fashioned way,” which fails embarrassingly.

Nick, desperate, turns to the COP 2.0 team. This is their moment.

The Final Operation

Using the strengths of both generations:

Lexi hacks into the gang’s network
Kam parkours through a shipping yard
Briar traps criminals using survivalist snares
Jayden livestreams safely from a drone
Zed distracts the gang with intense interpretive screaming
Sweetchuck accidentally triggers a chain reaction that knocks out the gang’s escape vehicles
Mahoney rides in on a scooter yelling, “Try to keep up, rookies!”
Callahan tackles the gang’s leader WWE-style

Even Proctor helps by accidentally stumbling into the gang’s hideout and pressing a big red button marked DO NOT PRESS—which disables the security system.

Nick Saves the Day

Nick negotiates surrender by reciting one of his uncle’s classic speeches with a modern twist—balancing community trust with justice.

EPILOGUE – A NEW LEGACY

The COP 2.0 program is hailed as a success. Nick is applauded. The city embraces a hybrid community-police model.

Mahoney smirks and says, “So… same time next year?”

Zed volunteers to teach “Advanced Skateboard Tactics.”
Sweetchuck screams.
Harris vows revenge.
Proctor steps into wet cement.

Cue theme music.

POLICE ACADEMY: CITIZENS ON PATROL – NEXT GENERATION (2nd Draft)

Feature Film – Updated Story Treatment with Jones Included

LOG LINE

Years after the original COP program, Commandant Nick Lassard revives the initiative for a new era. But when modern criminals cause citywide chaos, the new class of misfit recruits must team up with legendary Police Academy icons—including Mahoney, Callahan, Zed, Sweetchuck, and the sound-effect master himself, Jones—to restore order and prove the program still works.

FULL STORY TREATMENT (UPDATED)

ACT I – WELCOME BACK TO THE ACADEMY

Opening – The City in Trouble

Montage of rising crime, shortages in police staffing, and frustrated citizens.
City council pressures Commandant Nick Lassard to “do something innovative.”

Nick proudly announces the revival of Citizens On Patrol.

Captain Harris instantly declares it a waste of taxpayer money.
Proctor repeats his insults, usually at the wrong time or to the wrong person.

Jones Returns

As Nick introduces his plan, we hear absurd helicopter sounds swooping in. Everyone ducks—
—but it's just Jones, entering with a salute and a smile.

Nick: “Jones! You didn’t have to scare the council half to death!”
Jones: “I was warming up. Been practicing my city-evacuation sound set.”

He joins the program as the lead tactical communications instructor.

New Recruits Arrive

LEXI – Tech-wizard and drone hacker
JAYDEN – Hyperactive influencer
KAM – Parkour daredevil
BRIAR – Tech-skeptic survivalist

Callahan tries to train them with intensity. Jones uses sound effects to “enhance” her drills—
exploding land mine noises during pushups, police sirens when Kam runs too slow, malfunctioning robot sounds when Harris walks by.

ACT II – CITIZENS ON PATROL REBORN

Jones’ Training Sequences (New Scenes)

Jones teaches “situational awareness through auditory deception.”
Classic Police Academy humor:

Jones mimics an angry dog behind Sweetchuck, causing him to climb a flagpole.
He imitates a fighter jet passing overhead, causing Kam to leap into a dumpster.
He and Zed perform a ridiculous “battle scenario” using only sound effects and Zed’s screaming.
Jones creates a fake “Harris has arrived” voice—Harris storms in angry seconds later.

This becomes one of the film’s biggest comedic montages.

Zed & Sweetchuck

Zed helps run unconventional “urban engagement” classes.
Sweetchuck—now a risk consultant—is terrified of everything.

When Jones mimics a rattlesnake near Zed’s foot, Zed responds:
“Cool, I always wanted a pet one!”

Sweetchuck runs out of the room.

Harris Sabotage Attempts

Harris orders Proctor to find anything that makes COP 2.0 look unsafe.
Proctor accidentally records Jones doing perfect impersonations of Harris yelling about donuts—
The clip goes viral. Harris blames Nick.

Tension rises; the council threatens to shut down the program.

ACT III – THE GRIDLOCK GANG STRIKES

Crisis

A cyber-savvy criminal group causes citywide chaos.
Harris insists on using “traditional police strategy.”
The criminals embarrass him publicly.

Nick allows COP 2.0 to intervene (against orders).

Jones leads the tactical communication team.

Final Operation – Jones in Action

During the climax, Jones uses his sound effects to:

Distract gang members with false police sirens echoing from multiple directions
Mimic a snarling K-9 squad to force criminals out of hiding
Recreate the sound of backup helicopters (which they don’t actually have)
Throw off the criminals by imitating their own encrypted radio chatter
Cause Proctor to panic by making ticking-bomb noises that aren't real

Jones + Zed improvise a “dual vocal attack,” confusing guards long enough for Lexi, Kam, and Briar to sneak in.

Mahoney gets the big hero chase, but Jones supports by supplying engine noises, tire screeches, and even GPS voices misdirecting the criminals.

Even Sweetchuck makes an accidental heroic moment when Jones shouts “LOOK OUT!” with a realistic explosion sound, causing Sweetchuck to faint—knocking over a crucial piece of equipment the criminals needed.

Epilogue – COP 2.0 Is a Hit

The team wins. The city applauds the program.

Jones begins teaching an advanced class called:
“Creative Acoustics for Nonviolent Conflict Resolution… and Pranks.”

Harris fumes.
Proctor falls into wet cement again.
Mahoney nods proudly.
Zed screams for no reason.
Callahan crushes a steel bar to show she’s still the strongest.
Nick Lassard ends with a Lassard-style inspirational monologue.

Roll end-credits over Jones remixing classic Police Academy sound effects into a comedic beatbox routine.

POLICE ACADEMY: MISSION TO MOSCOW 2.0

Feature Film – 3rd Draft Story Treatment

This is not a remake of the original Mission to Moscow—instead it's a brand-new storyline, using the international setting as an updated sequel premise for the new generation.

LOG LINE

When a mysterious cybercriminal group threatens global security from inside Moscow’s growing tech underground, Commandant Nick Lassard is invited to send a joint American “Citizens on Patrol” task force to assist Russian authorities. Nick, Mahoney, Jones, Zed, Sweetchuck, Callahan, Harris, and a new generation of recruits find themselves in the middle of an escalating digital cold war—and only their signature chaos can prevent an international disaster.

FULL STORY TREATMENT

ACT I – INTERNATIONAL TROUBLE

Opening – Moscow Under Attack

A shadowy hacker collective known as RED SPECTRUM breaches several international data hubs. Governments worldwide panic.

The U.S. receives a message from the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs requesting unconventional assistance. They specifically ask for the "community-based, creatively unpredictable officers" they saw in viral videos—thanks to Proctor accidentally posting training footage.

Jones imitates a malfunctioning robot to sneak past guards
Mahoney charms high-ranking officials
Zed accidentally becomes an honored guest because criminals think he’s “an anarchist icon”

making everyone think it already blew up.

Mahoney: “Jones, NOT helpful!!”
Jones: “I thought we needed dramatic tension!”

EPILOGUE – INTERNATIONAL HEROES
