George Kuffs is an irresponsible 21-year-old high school dropout who walks out on his pregnant girlfriend Maya Calton and runs broke, to see his older brother Brad Kuffs in San Francisco. Brad is the owner of a Patrol Special police franchise, a civilian auxiliary police force. During George's visit, Brad is killed, and George, who witnessed the killing, takes over the patrol to seek revenge. But first George has to earn respect from the patrol, and at first all of them want him out.

[edit] Trivia

The script was written specifically for Christian Slater in mind for the title role.
The original title for this film was "Gun For Hire".
This film was shot on location in San Francisco, California.
During the scene where Kuffs asks his trainer why the cadets are all running ("Aren't we all going to be in cars?"), each cadet has their last name on the sweatshirt they're wearing. One runs by that has the last name Gideon, a nod to producer/co-writer Raynold Gideon.
