That's going to depend on why he/she was released, and the rules of the jurisdiction. The first step is to go back and read the guidelines you should have read in the beginning, the ones explaining your rights as a probationary officer.
Honestly, if the person hasn't read that very important guideline that every agency issues......then that may give a clue as to why they are having difficulty being an officer.

If the person was released from field training and is a hazard, then the FTO (field training officer) should be questioned for releasing the officer. It is not uncommon for a recruit to stay in field training longer if they need some remediation. If is that bad, then perhaps the officer should not have graduated the academy.

He's not living up to the job. Some rookies get released and turn into slugs. Without the FTO up his or her butt they aren't motivated to go out and hunt. they just chillout an dwait for calls for service.
Sending them back with an FTO, or at least a vet officer, for awhile can relight that fire.
He or she can be fired for any reason until they're off probation. In most big departments, until probation is over, they are "at will"employees.

Sure, depending on the reason.
Sometimes, a person just isn't a good fit with the first department / FTO... that doesn't meant that they can't be a good cop.
If there are serious safety issues or something, however... that could follow them. The new department will absolutely contact the first one for the lowdown on why the person was released.

Looks like he's out of a job.
