• 

  (#23) Monique Jeffries

  Detective Monique Jeffries (Michelle Hurd) begins her career at SVU by being a street-wise detective; she's tough on crime, and always plays by the book. But when a suspect nearly kills her during a chase, Jeffries begins behaving recklessly. She admits to a staff psychologist to having random, casual sex with a person involved in a prior rape investigation, and is transferred to the VICE unit.

  (#19) Chester Lake

  Detective Chester Lake's ancestors are of Mohawk Nation decent, and have been living in New York City for several generations. He is a MMA fighter who goes by the nickname "Naptime," because of his signature sleeper-hold. Ironically, he suffers from severe insomnia, which he tries to clear by wandering the streets at night. Chester Lake (Adam Beach, Law & Order: SVU) grew up in the foster care system, and his brother went to jail on his behalf after the two committed a crime so that he could follow his dreams of being a police officer.   

  Lake is a member of the Vidocq Society in Pennsylvania that works together to try to solve cold cases. He is involved in a shooting with one of the men accused of raping and murdering two victims in a decade-old rape/homicide case. He is later cleared of all charges, because it is revealed that Lake killed the suspect in self-defense. However, Lake is later found standing over the body of the second suspect, and is arrested for murder.

  (#11) Dominick "Sonny" Carisi Jr.

  Detective Sonny Carisi (Peter Scanavino) is the most inexperienced detective at SVU. He has had brief experiences in other Burroughs, however, so the squad takes him on. When Sonny first arrives, he is too abrasive and harsh to victims, and is reprimanded for his behavior by Detective Benson. He later softens up, and has a knack for interrogation. He uses fake-empathy to pretend to be on the side of the perp in order to get them to confess, or flip on another suspect.

  (#20) Megan Wheeler

  • Law & Order: Criminal Intent

  Detective Wheeler joins the MCS as Detective Barek's replacement. Previously, she worked undercover for several years, investigating drug crimes, money laundering, and white-collar crimes.   

  Megan Wheeler (Julianne Nicholson, Law & Order: Criminal Intent) is often made fun of by the other guys on the squad for being so young, but her youth comes in handy when it comes time to solve crimes that involve short-hand teenager lingo via text messages. She takes a break from MCS at one point to teach a class in Europe.  

  Later, Wheeler is impregnated by her fiancé, who has recently been arrested for money laundering and racketeering by the FBI. She gives birth to his child, and subsequently retires.

  (#3) John Munch

  • Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Homicide: Life on the Street, Homicide: The Movie

  Detective John Munch (Richard Belzer) is your classic, paranoid, misanthropic detective. He thrives off conspiracy theories, and a new ex-wife of his seems to pop up every other season. Munch is a huge advocate for the mentally ill, as several of his ex-wives and family members have suffered from mental disorders. 

  He begins his career as a detective on Homicide: Life on the Streets in the Baltimore Police Department Homicide unit. He retires, takes his pension, and moves to New York to work in the Sex Crimes unit on Law & Order: SVU. He takes the sergeant's exam on a bar bet, and passes, earning him the title of Sergeant Munch, which he serves whenever Sergeant Cragen is off duty. He eventually retires, surrounded by all of his friends at SVU.

  (#2) Olivia Benson

  • Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit

  Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit) is the Patron Saint of Badass Females everywhere. She characteristically always stands up for feminism, and the rights of the victim - no matter what. As a child of rape, Benson knows what victims go through after an attack. Liv watched her alcoholic mother struggle with the fact that she had been raped until the day she died, and in order to pay it forward on behalf of her mother, Benson now acts as a victims rights advocate in every single case.   

  Although she can be nurturing and helpful, don't get on Olivia Benson's bad side. She's been known to take down a perp or two, especially the ones who have tried and failed to sexually attract her. She is promoted to Sergeant after both Cragen and Munch retire, and finally understands just how difficult she, herself, was to work with when she was a young detective.
