While it can safely be assumed that no U.S. police department has a probationary period as short as two months, probationary periods for police officers in the US can be as short as 3 months (after the police academy) to as long as 24 months. Some agencies start the probationary period after the police academy, some include the academy as part of the probationary period.
No police force in America has a probationary period less than 12 months.

This show is aiming for realism/semi realism but the main female officer kills 2 armed gunman and is back in the next episode with no time jump occurred and no standing down while investigating takes place. (Where is this a thing? In actual fact officers involved in shootings are automatically Incident Commanders until relieved, they are not automatically stood down, and the investigation of the shooting isn't immediate, unlike in most shows)
No investigation into shootings is mentioned.
