Most cops feel comfortable with just about anything at five years. Rookie, I would say after a year on your own, ie: off of training/probation.

Usually about one year. It is not determined by his time on the job, but by his peers, and mentors. Some cops with five years on the job, are still occasionally called "rookie".

Depends, it has nothing to do with actual time on the force. It's like a lot of other jobs, once you know that you know what you're doing and everyone else knows that you know what you're doing, you're no longer a rookie.

Ususally there is a one year probation period, where the new officer works along side with an experienced field training officer (FTO). At the end of this time, he can be set out on his own, based on the recommendations of his FTO.
