Kind then is Stan Yenko, "a captain who hides his loneliness and insecurity behind a gregarious demeanor and quest for camaraderie with everyone around him." Schley portrays Andre Bentley, "a patrol officer trainee from an upper middle-class background in Westchester. He was never supposed to become a cop, which was half the reason he became one." And Luccardi is Brandy Quinlan, "a patrol officer who had a working class upbringing until she ran away from an abusive home and lived on the street. She's a go-getter and driven to prove herself."
