Emmy Award-winners John Wells, Ann Biderman, and Chris Chulack team to produce this gritty, fast-paced police drama that takes viewers into the lives of cops, criminals, their victims, and their families. Veteran Los Angeles cop John Cooper (Michael Cudlitz) has been assigned the task of training ambitious rookie Ben Sherman (Ben McKenzie), who isn't sure he has what it takes to become a police officer after witnessing his superior's no-nonsense approach to the job. Meanwhile, Detective Lydia Adams (Regina King) takes care of her elderly mother while she's not patrolling the streets with her unhappily married partner Detective Russell Clarke (Tom Everett Scott), and Detective Daniel "Sal" Salinger (Michael McGrady) presides over gang detectives Sammy Bryant (Shawn Hatosy) and Nate Moretta (Kevin Alejandro) while patrol officer Chickie Brown (Arija Bareikis) dreams of becoming the first woman to join the SWAT team.
