• 

  (#14) Cyrus Lupo

  • Law & Order

  Detective Cyrus Lupo (Jeremy Sisto) works in the NYPD Intelligence Division in Pakistan for four years before transferring to the 27th Precinct. Overseas, he often worked alone, and without backup, so it's not an easy transition for him at first.  

  One Christmas morning, Lupo witnesses a father murdering his wife and two children. He develops severe PTSD, and becomes an alcoholic. His partner is killed in the line of duty after going into a bodega to buy him a coffee to help sober him up, and he decides to quit drinking and see a therapist.  

  Lupes is a big fan of graphic novels, and has a dog named Otto.

  (#27) Serena Stevens

  Detective Serena Stevens (Saffron Burrows, Law & Order: Criminal Intent) began her police career with the Chicago PD, but transfers to the Major Case squad. She grew up with a Marine for a father, and the two lived in Islamabad when she was a child, where she learned to read Urdu and Arabic.   

  Stevens is a huge White Sox fan, and has an 8 year-old daughter named Kira. Her sense of humor tends to lighten things up, and she is a solid detective.

  (#13) Nick Amaro

  • Law & Order: Special Victims Unit

  Detective Amarto is a detective torn between two worlds. Like Detective Stabler before him, he's a family man at heart, and has a short fuse that tends to land him in hot water. His wife leaves him and takes their daughter to live with her in California. It is later revealed that Nick Amaro (Danny Pino, Law & Order: SVU) had a son out of wedlock with another woman, although he never knew that his second child existed.   

  Amaro becomes intimate with Detective Rollins after he helps her recover from her gambling addiction. He later takes the sergeant exam, but is told by Lt. Tucker that he will never be promoted to sergeant. He is subsequently shot by a suspect during an investigation, and decides to retire from the force to deal with his injuries.

  (#18) Zack Nichols

  Detective Nichols grew up with two psychiatrists for parents, and, in an act of rebellion, decided to become a police officer. After 9/11, he takes seven years off the force, and the only known clue of his whereabouts is a postcard he sends to the squad postmarked in Cleveland, OH. He eventually returns to the force, and continues solving crimes. In his spare time, Zack Nichols (Jeff Goldblum, Law & Order: Criminal Intent) loves to play the piano. He eventually reconciles with his father when the two of them solve a case together before Nichols retires.

  (#6) Ed Green

  • Law & Order

  Despite his unorthodox methods, Detective Ed Green (Jesse L. Martin, Law & Order) is a valued member of the NYPD. He often butts heads with his superiors, because he believes in bending the law in order to catch a perp.   

  Green is shot in the line of duty, and takes a hiatus from the police force while he recovers in the hospital. A few years after his return, he is involved in a shooting, and indicted before the Grand Jury. Although he is cleared of all charges, he decides to retire from the force because he has now "broken every rule in the book."

  (#8) Mike Logan

  Mike Logan (Chris Noth) is a good detective with a rough past. As a child growing up in a working-class, Irish family, he was physically abused by his Catholic mother, and sexually assaulted by a priest. He now behaves like a misanthropic womanizer to cover up the pain of his abuse.  

  Logan works for Manhattan Homicide for several years, until he is fired for engaging in a physical altercation with a homophobic politician. He is then transferred to the Staten Island Domestic Disputes squad, where he works for several years.  

  After his stint on Staten Island, it is revealed in the made for TV movie Exiled: A Law & Order Movie that he is trying to work his way back onto the Manhattan Homicide unit by solving a murder case. He is instead moved to the Major Case squad on Law & Order: Criminal Intent.  

  Detective Logan works on the MC squad for 25 years, before he develops a sense of injustice and anger against the criminal justice system. The death of his girlfriend, combined with the DA trying to cover up a 16-year-old homicide proves to be too much for him. He retires in order to do something more fulfilling with his life than be a police officer.
