| Chicago P.D. / int_10a6623b | comment |
Fair Cop: Pretty much everyone of course, but special mention should probably go to Detective Erin Lindsay, who's played by Sophia Bush, and Officer Kim Burgess, played by Marina Squerciati. Hailey Upton (Tracy Spiridakos) and Vanessa Rojas (Lisseth Chavez) also fit the bill. | |

| Chicago P.D. / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Dear lord is it ever! The show never fails to show how godawful Chicago really is, touching on topics such as corruption and violence practically every episode. While the protagonists in Chicago Fire and Chicago Med are undeniably the good guys, the protagonists here are far more morally ambiguous and will stop at nothing to get their suspects, even resorting to brutalizing their suspects if need be. And that's not even getting started on the Cerebus Syndrome the series goes through. | |

Ripped from the Headlines | |
| Chicago P.D. / int_1616e13 | comment |
Ripped from the Headlines: The episode "Made A Wrong Turn" (4x02) seems to be loosely based on, or at least has several significant parallels to, the abduction and murders of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom. "Remember the Devil" (4x17) is obviously based on the Todd Kohlhepp case right down to the victim of the week being kept chained in a storage container in the middle of nowhere. "Fallen" (5x06) turns out to be directly inspired by the "murder" of cop Joe Gliniewicz, who killed himself to cover up his Dirty Cop dealings. Unlike Gliniewicz, McGrady tried to implicate a known drug-dealing murderer, so at least his death would do some good for the city. The case featured in "No Regrets" (7x08), bears notable similarity with the ordeal underwent by Jaycee Dugard, particualarly the surviving abduction victim conceiving her kidnapper's child via rape. Season 8's premise is centered around the increasing demands for police reform, with George Floyd's death being mentioned several times in its premiere episode. | |

Gone Horribly Wrong: In Season 5, Woods's plan to screw Voight over note Frame Olinsky for Voight's revenge-killing of his (Voight's) son's murderer, forcing Voight to confess in exchange for clearing Olinsky. becomes this. A jailed Olinsky gets killed by an inmate hired by someone with their own grudge, Voight learns of it before he can sign the confession, Woods has now lost his leverage, and a pissed-off Voight now has reason to come after Woods; in the end, he's the one set-up and arrested. | |

| Chicago P.D. / int_1ba8b27c | comment |
Following in Their Rescuer's Footsteps: Detective Upton was inspired to become a police officer after her family's diner was robbed and an officer came to comfort them during the investigation. When she came to work for the Intelligence Unit, she found herself reunited with the officer who comforted her: Trudy Platt. Erin Lindsay is a police officer just like Hank Voight, who took her in when she was a teenager. Before that, Erin was stuck at the whim of her flighty, criminalistic, drug abusing mother. | |

Poor Communication Kills | |
| Chicago P.D. / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: Throughout the first episode, Voight continually clashes with Violent Crimes, with their Lieutenant, Bruce Belden, annoyed that Voight doesn't share information - to which Voight retorts that neither does Violent Crimes. Towards the end of the episode, Intelligence rolls up to an apartment where they believe a drug dealer is going to be killed... and Violent Crimes rolls up, telling Voight they're following up on the car belonging to some cartel hitmen, which was spotted at the apartment. It results in one Intelligence detective being shot in the neck, and pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital. Later, Belden makes a deal with Pulpo that enables the latter to get his hands on a gun and ends with Belden and several other cops dead and wounded. | |

Those Two Cops: Ruzek and Atwater have shades of this when they're still raw on Intelligence. Before this, Atwater shared this dynamic with Burgess while he was still a patrol officer, and she went on to share it with Roman. They're all far more competent than other trope examples, however. | |

| Chicago P.D. / int_1dfd19f9 | comment |
Papa Wolf: Voight, Olinsky and Dawson, with their respective offspring. Voight goes out of his way to terrorize people in order to protect his son. He does admit however he crossed the line with Matt Casey, and comes to realize the kid needs a form of discipline that he himself isn't willing to dispense so he drives his son to an army recruiting station to get him away from Chicago, its influences, and to get him away from a number of felony charges. Voight's protective streak extends to his fellow cops. Atwater, with his siblings as their legal guardian. Crosses over with Big Brother Instinct. | |

Crapsack World | |
| Chicago P.D. / int_21d70919 | comment |
Crapsack World: The show isn't shy about showing how violent Chicago can be and occasionally touches on corruption and navel gazing within the CPD. In fact, the city's rate of gun crimes is so high, the Chicago Police Department is one of the few police forces where all officers (uniformed and plainclothes) wear vests outside of their clothing while on dutynote other departments mandate wearing vests underneath shirts to avoid tempting criminals from taking potshots at officers. Universe-wise, it counts as one big Mood Whiplash from the Lighter and Softer Chicago Fire that precedes it. | |

Failed a Spot Check: A lot of the times Voight and the Unit members get caught doing something questionable and have to think and/or talk fast to avoid repercussions would be avoided if they'd stopped to check for either surveillance cameras or potential witnesses first. | |

| Chicago P.D. / int_22a60f6a | comment |
Nepotism: Although Lindsay isn't Voight's biological daughter, he has raised her since age 15, making her addition to the elite unit he heads possibly a bit sketchy. However, the two have different last names, and never acknowledge any personal relationship within the precinct, although quite a few people have picked up on it. | |

Babies Make Everything Better | |
| Chicago P.D. / int_23f1384a | comment |
Babies Make Everything Better: Justin was already on the up and up but the birth of his son/Voight's grandson Daniel helped to cement things as far as him becoming a responsible, productive man. Didn't keep him from getting killed due to his former connections, albeit indirectly, though. Many, Ruzek among them, think or hope that the fact that Burgess is carrying her and Ruzek's child as a result of their post-"Infection" crossover romp means that they'll instantly become a steady item once more. It doesn't, and if anything, it makes things between them worse for a while. But Burgess does eventually tell Ruzek that she loves him (which she hasn't said to him since they were engaged) and that they'll always be a family now if nothing else. And then it's all cruelly rendered moot in "I Was Here" when Burgess gets viciously beaten and miscarries as a result. It's worth noting that both instances lead to some of the very few times we see Hank Voight crack a smile that isn't a Slasher Smile. | |

Limited Wardrobe: Averted only with Ruzek, who seems prone to a variety of brightly colored clothing. Everyone else in Intelligence generally wears jeans and dark t-shirts; Voight is often in a dark button-down. Olinsky always wears a dark woolen hat. The others, such as Platt, Burgess and Roman, are always in uniform unless they're at Molly's. | |

He Who Fights Monsters | |
| Chicago P.D. / int_2c1f1138 | comment |
He Who Fights Monsters: The Intelligence Unit is involved in taking down some of Chicago's more erstwhile, most violent criminals, but Voight and Olinsky, specifically, see themselves as people who will do the unspeakable in order to protect the public. Despite this, Voight takes steps to avoid the other members of Intelligence from doing this. Upton spends Season 7 using increasingly underhanded or outright illegal tactics. Voight is clearly disturbed, tries to reign her in, and ultimately has her temporarily transferred to the FBI to stop it. When she points out its no different from his actions, he explodes "I don't want you to be me!" | |

Street Urchin: Lindsay, growing up with a junkie mother, until she meets Voight, becoming his CI and is taken in by him and his wife at age 15. Nadia has a similar backstory but didn't have the benefit of being taken in by somebody who could have put her on the right path. Lindsay and Platt eventually step in to guide her. Rojas was this from time-to-time as she bounced around foster homes—32 in total. At one point, she turned to squatting and carjacking to survive. | |

Poorly Disguised Pilot | |
| Chicago P.D. / int_38b05ae7 | comment |
Poorly Disguised Pilot: Season 2 featured more and more references to Chicago Med and Halstead's brother, a plastic surgeon looking to make a career change, started recurring as well. Combine that with out-of-universe industry news being filled with reports of actors being cast as doctors and nurses with contracts that have series options, it wasn't that difficult to guess that Dick Wolf and company were angling for a third series set in Chicago. "Justice", in Season 3, mainly focused on the Illinois State's Attorney office for Cook County investigation and subsequent prosecution of a shooting involving Burgess and Roman. NBC ordered Chicago Justice to series the day after the episode aired. | |

Actor Allusion: Inverted.

Jason Beghe had previously played an actual rogue fireman-turned-hitman/arsonist-for-hire in Medium who murdered his own daughter to cover his tracks. At least one episode has Voight putting a suspect into the trunk of a car. In Thelma & Louise, Beghe played a highway patrolman who gets forced into the trunk of his own cruiser by the titular duo. Tracy Spiridakos played a character named Hayley with an abusive father in the 2013 thriller, Kill For Me. | |

Noodle Incident: When Ruzek's father walks into the precinct, Platt exclaims, "Disco Bob!" It's never explained why she calls him that. It's also never explained exactly why he and Voght had a falling out, only that they encountered each other in a bar and traded insults, with Bob calling Voight a "dirty cop" and Voight responding that Bob was a "dog cop". | |

Cowboy Cop | |
| Chicago P.D. / int_3dd3951e | comment |
Voight, apropos because he's also a Cowboy Cop, will stomp up to a gun-wielding perp and take them down. Sometimes he'll shout that he wants the perp alive before shooting to maim. The sound effect of his gun is even more booming (closer to a shotgun) than the other characters' guns. | |

Reminiscing About Your Victims: In "A Little Devil Complex," Olinsky and Ruzek follows the arsonist into a hardware store. The arsonist waits patiently in line and the cashier has a burn on the side of her face. Her burns are from a fire the arsonist "heard about." The arsonist also reveals he was burned on the arm in a fire as child, which allows the Intelligence Unit to find out his real name. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
| Chicago P.D. / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Many, Ruzek among them, think or hope that the fact that Burgess is carrying her and Ruzek's child as a result of their post-"Infection" crossover romp means that they'll instantly become a steady item once more. It doesn't, and if anything, it makes things between them worse for a while. But Burgess does eventually tell Ruzek that she loves him (which she hasn't said to him since they were engaged) and that they'll always be a family now if nothing else. And then it's all cruelly rendered moot in "I Was Here" when Burgess gets viciously beaten and miscarries as a result. | |

Dropped a Bridge on Him: Julia Wilhite, Sheldon Jin, Nadia Decottis, Justin Voight, and Alvin Olinski and his daughter, Lexi are all victims of this, being mundanely or unexpectedly killed off simply to drive the plot. Wilhite is fatally shot by a drug kingpin, because of Poor Communication Kills. Jin is murdered by a corrupt IA sergeant who was blackmailing him after he outlived his usefulness. Nadia is in the wrong place at the wrong time when a sexually depraved Serial Killer is on the prowl. Justin is murdered while trying to help a friend who owed money to a rather nasty criminal. Lexi dies from injuries she sustained in a high rise apartment fire. Olinsky is fatally stabbed out of nowhere in prison while awaiting trial. | |

Badass in Distress: Just about every member of Intelligence has been kidnapped and/or held hostage at least once. More often than not, they end up rescuing themselves by the time the calvary shows up. Unfortunately, "The Other Side" subverts that streak as Burgess, who's been shot and left for dead, manages to crawl as far as a nearby car but passes out from blood loss before Atwater and Halstead find her and rush to Med. Thankfully, she survives. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Voight is one of the most brutal and vicious cops in Chicago but he does it because he wants to protect the public. He's also fiercely loyal and protective of his team and will go to great lengths to help those who genuinely want get out of a life of crime. Platt loves nothing more than to toy with her subordinates but there are lessons to be learned (in a very roundabout way) from the hell she puts them through. She also takes Nadia under her wing and will do what she can to help the officers in her district if they're in genuine need of it. | |

Not What It Looks Like | |
| Chicago P.D. / int_52d1f46e | comment |
Not What It Looks Like: Several episodes deal with the officers having to shoot or use escalated force against someone in self-defense and it looking as if they killed or brutalized the suspect in cold blood. It doesn't help that nearly as many cases where this allegedly happens turn out to be exactly what it looks like (to the audience, at least) or that almost all of the latter instances directly involve Sgt. Hank Voight, who has a known reputation as a Cowboy Cop. An inversion happens in "Protect and Serve" where a shell-shocked cop shoots an unarmed college student he pulled over on a traffic violation and swears up and down, up to the climax of the episode, that the young man had reached for a weapon, despite numerous cell/smart/iPhone videos and the officer's own bodycam footage clearly showing otherwise. "White Knuckle" revolves around an alderman's drug-addled son being found covered in blood and holding a knife alongside his slain girlfriend, making it seem as if he killed the girl. Deputy Superintendent Miller wants him charged immediately while Voight at least wants the kid to sober up so he can give his side of the story. Sure enough, it was the girlfriend's drug dealer who committed the murder. In "The Radical Truth", Burgess walks up on Ruzek after he has just shot the episode's Villain of the Week and immediately questions what he (Ruzek) just did. After surveillance footage shows that it was indeed a good shoot, Ruzek chews her out for both this and for not backing him to the review team. | |

Vasquez Always Dies: Inverted. Lindsay survives her encounter with Greg Yates. Nadia doesn't. Also inverted on a sliding scale in "Last Minute Resistance"- Burgess manages to fight off being raped, albeit narrowly. Her more feminine sister isn't as lucky and her sister's equally feminine friend is the one who actually dies. Played straight minus the dying part in "Ties That Bind"- both Upton and Burgess get abducted and roughed up, but Upton receives the worst of it, being beaten bloody and to within inches of her life before they manage to free themselves. | |

For example, "Infection", which ends up with the revelation next episode that Burgess got pregnant. Halstead and Upton finally do this in "Tender Age" after four straight seasons of Ship Tease. | |

Fostering for Profit: Subverted, with Voight and Lindsay. It's never really been established whether Lindsay was an official foster child - meaning the Voights would be eligible to receive compensation for her - or if they simply got guardianship. In any event, it's clear that the Voights have gone above and beyond for Lindsay, even sending her to private school as a teenager, which would have been out of pocket in any event. However, a number of the cases that come to Intelligence have involved foster children in horrific situations, taken brutal advantage of by both the foster parents and crooked social service workers. | |

Police Brutality: And how! Voight is liberal with menacing and brutalising perps and interrogating suspects. Olinsky too, but to a lesser degree. | |

From Bad to Worse | |
| Chicago P.D. / int_7870735b | comment |
From Bad to Worse: Burgess and Roman get caught up in a baby formula smuggling ring and have to deal with increasingly violent twists as the day goes on. Sgt. Kenny Nolan's hazing campaign against Atwater for going against the blue wall is this over the course of two episodes. Burgess spends the end of "the Right Thing" and a significant chunk of "The Other Side getting assaulted, abducted, assaulted, taken to an unknown location, assaulted, trying and failing to reason with her abductor, assaulted, double-tapped and left to die, having to crawl to a nearby car, makes it inside, and finds the keys to said car, and then passing out from the blood loss and trauma. | |

Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds | |
| Chicago P.D. / int_7ec94d53 | comment |
Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: The Big Bad of "Profiles" and "Hiding Not Seeking" (a Crossover with Chicago Fire)... An ex-reporter named Larry Shepard who was Wrongly Accused of murder. And despite being cleared, he still lost everything — his job, prospects, wife (who was even Driven to Suicide by the stress), etc. — due to the bad publicity. Now he's finally snapped and invoked Then Let Me Be Evil, going on a Mad Bomber Roaring Rampage of Revenge against everyone he blames for ruining his life based on "fake news." Even Intelligence has some pity for him, with Jay getting annoyed that Shepard's editor ruined the latter's career over fake news. | |

Bait-and-Switch: In "Chin Check," Antonio's wife Laura demands he bring his CI Jasmine (a prostitute) on a date with them. Both Antonio and Jasmine think Laura's there to confront Jasmine and stake her claim. Turns out, Laura just wanted to thank Jasmine for helping them find Diego in the previous episode. Sergeant Platt, as is her wont, pulls a double on Burgess and Roman, telling Roman that his new partner would be "Tim", instead of "Kim", and telling Burgess that Roman would be friendly while knowing that Roman has issues with female partners and would be belligerent towards her. | |

Artistic License – Law Enforcement | |
| Chicago P.D. / int_8a8f37f9 | comment |
Artistic License – Law Enforcement: In real life: Voight would probably still be incarcerated for his abuse of power in Chicago Fire; and even if he were let out, he likely wouldn't be given back his cop duties or at the very least, he'd be placed on indefinite desk duty a la Vic Mackey; Platt's Trickster Mentor tactics with her officers would probably get her investigated for hazing and possibly fired; For that matter, the position of desk sergeant does not grant the holder any authority over other officers; While in-house dalliances can and do happen among officers in the same precinct or unit, depending on the circumstances and/or the precinct's code of ethics, they wouldn't be without consequences such as transfer, suspension, relief of duty(aka, firing), or having to take one or several sexual harassment workshops; Even with Roman leaving, Burgess would probably still be fired, suspended, or transferred to another district for fraternizing with her partner while on duty; It's common knowledge that officers involved in shootings are immediately placed on administrative leave while an investigation is carried out. The Intelligence Unit gets into officer-involved shootings almost once per episode and are never taken off case or placed on leave without some other circumstances, like a possible personal connection, warranting it. Between all of the unethical, unwarranted searches and seizures, the off-book interrogations, and the outright Police Brutality (mostly Voight, but the others get some in as well), Intelligence as a unit wouldn't have lasted much longer than it takes Wolf Films to shoot and edit an entire season. | |

Standard Cop Backstory | |
| Chicago P.D. / int_95af2c0c | comment |
Standard Cop Backstory: Just about everyone has had some tragedy in their past. Voight's father, who was also a cop, was killed when Voight was 8. Lindsay, whose mother was a junkie and father was sent to prison, bounced around foster homes. Halstead, Olinsky and Mouse were all in the service. Olinsky's marriage fell apart and he moved into his garage in order to remain close to his daughter. He and his wife are starting to patch things up but then she kicks him out completely upon the discovery he has another previously-unknown daughter by another woman. Atwater has custody of his ten-year-old sister and teenage brother until he's forced to send them off with relatives for their own safety. Platt joined the force at a time when policewomen were not well-respected by their male peers, was shot in the line of duty, and is now on desk duty for the remainder of her career. Then she was assaulted and her father murdered by an ex-con she helped put away some time ago. Dawson's job lead to his getting divorced and he rarely gets to see his children. Ruzek's parents had an extremely vicious divorce when he was a child. Nadia was a teenage drug addict working as an escort. Subverted, since she wasn't promoted to being a full cop, at least not while she was alive anyway. Burgess actually averted this...at first. Everything that happens to her from Season 2 onward is her backstory. Upton was raised in an abusive home and often witnessed her father domestically abuse her mother and brothers. Rojas grew up in the foster system and aged out, something that the series has made clear usually just leads to becoming another statistic. It was thanks to her boyfriend taking the full rap for their carjacking forays and a compassionate caseworker helping her out that she was able to become a police officer. | |

This Is Gonna Suck: Usually, Burgess in her patrolwoman days getting on Platt's bad side. She and Atwater are warned to be very careful with a show car the chief will be driving in a parade. Three guesses what happens to it. When Ruzek (who jumped straight from the academy to intelligence) puts down some patrolmen, Olinsky decides he needs to know what it's like. Platt's "Oh, I've been waiting for this day" sets the tone as Ruzek has to ride with Burgess. Roman realizes a K-9 officer he and Burgess work with is his ex-girlfriend. He does an episode Title Drop of "I should have called in dead.' When Roman suggests becoming a training officer, Platt decides to test him by having him "train" a "rookie"...Platt herself. Kim can only whisper a "good luck" as she leaves him. Which is then turned around when Platt realizes not only is Roman serious about his Training from Hell routine but he's good at it...and then remembers all the stuff she's put Roman through for two years... | |

The Gunslinger | |
| Chicago P.D. / int_9f7769a2 | comment |
The Gunslinger: Voight, apropos because he's also a Cowboy Cop, will stomp up to a gun-wielding perp and take them down. Sometimes he'll shout that he wants the perp alive before shooting to maim. The sound effect of his gun is even more booming (closer to a shotgun) than the other characters' guns. Every character, except Platt (because she works the desk), has been shown firing their weapons. Not terribly surprising because, even with some of the toughest gun laws in the country, Chicago currently leads the United States in gun crimes. | |

It's Personal: Happens a lot for the team, especially when it's a loved one in danger. When some crooks break into his home and almost kill his son's pregnant girlfriend, Voight is soon terrorizing half of Chicago to find the perps. In the third season finale, when his son is shot and rendered brain dead, Voight is offering a $90,000 bounty for whoever is responsible and woe to anyone in his path. As proven when the brother of the suspect is reluctant to talk so Hank shoots him in the leg to get him to squeal. When her sister Nicole is raped, Burgess personally works a sting on the guys responsible, ending with beating one of them into a bloody pulp. The whole team is this in the season 5 finale trying to avenge Al's death. | |

Mood Whiplash: "Called In Dead" has Burgess and Roman having to ride with a K-9 officer who happens to be Roman's former fiancee. It's played for laughs with Burgess having to put up with the pair bickering all day long and in the final scene, they're still arguing over the breakup while they do routine house checks. Burgess finally screams at the pair to shut up as she rings a doorbell...and a shotgun blast goes off and the episode ends with her bleeding before the shocked pair. | |

Karma Houdini: As of Season 8, every cop on Intelligence save newest member Andre Cooper (and given the trend, it's only a matter time) has done at least one questionable thing that should have gotten them suspended or worse, and ultimately came away from it with their job intact.

Rape and Revenge | |
| Chicago P.D. / int_b2b2093c | comment |
Rape and Revenge: Nadia is kidnapped, raped and murdered by Greg Yates during the first Chicago Fire, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Chicago PD crossover. The SVU and Intelligence units all want him to suffer but Lindsay and Voight in particular find it difficult to show restraint, with Voight stopping within literally inches of strangling Yates to death when they're alone in a restroom. After Yates escapes some episodes later and the unit tracks him down, Lindsay goes against orders to apprehend him alone, presumably on the gambit that he'll attack her and force her to kill him in self-defense. Sure enough, that's exactly what happens. The guy who drugs, then rapes and sodomizes Burgess's sister ends up on the wrong side of this trope and Burgess's fists when she finally gets a hold of him. That he was planning to do the same to her didn't help his case in the slightest, either. | |

Crossover Ship | |
| Chicago P.D. / int_b5ce83ab | comment |
Crossover Ship: In-Universe. Thanks to Dick Wolf's decision to have the characters of Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D. regularly make crossover appearances, characters from both shows have entered into relationships. Severide from Fire and Lindsay from PD started a relationship, which Lindsay ended after Severide, still reeling from Shay's death, kept bailing on her. Starting in Fire's third season, Mouch and Platt from the two shows are in a relationship. They later marry. Although not confirmed in canon, there have been hints about Voight and SVU's Benson possibly being involved. There is a great deal of speculation across the internet. Jason Beghe said that there are undertones of romance in how he and Mariska Hargitay play their scenes but that Voight is currently still mourning the loss of his wife and not quite aware of the mutual attraction. | |

Burgess sometimes steps in as a big sister figure for Atwater's siblings and combines this with being a Cool Aunt to her niece. When her own sister is raped, Burgess stops at nothing to make sure that he is caught and the she gets 5 minutes alone with him before he is formally arrested. Bonus points for her being the younger sister of the two. | |

Berserk Button | |
| Chicago P.D. / int_bc74ef27 | comment |
Berserk Button: Any of the members of Intelligence or the 21st District don't take kindly to threats in their city. The Season One episode "8:30 P.M.", a follow-up to "A Dark Day" from Chicago Fire, makes this clear once Voight and his team corner the Big Bad Ted Powell on the roof as he prepares to watch his bomb damage CPD HQ, and engages every member in a gun fight until Voight arrives to deal with him personally for attacking his city. This went double for if one of their own is killed, such as Alvin by a hired hit from the Cartel he threatened. Voight confronted the Cartel head honcho who signed off on the hit, and without waiting for the guy to threaten him with a gun, killed him in cold blood. For Voight, It's Personal due to his friendship with Olinsky. Cases involving "tender-aged victims" (aka children 12 and under). | |

Cool and Unusual Punishment | |
| Chicago P.D. / int_c007c53 | comment |
Cool and Unusual Punishment: Olinsky sees that Ruzek is getting cocky over being assigned to Intelligence straight out of the academy. In order to fix that, Olinsky turns Ruzek over to Platt, who is more than delighted to have the rookie as a plaything. The desk sergeant proceeds to treat Ruzek worse than she normally treats Burgess and Atwater, which doesn't thrill Burgess because she's partnered with Ruzek for the day. Ruzek is suitably cowed by the end of the day and Olinsky takes him back as his partner. | |

Killed Off for Real: Detective Julia Wilhite is killed in the show's first proper episode. Officer Sheldon Jin is killed in the first season finale. Nadia Decotis is kidnapped, raped, brutalized, and killed by Gregory Yates during the second three-hour crossover event with Chicago Fire and Law & Order: SVU. Justin, Voight's son, is tortured and left for dead before dying in the hospital in the season 3 finale. Alvin Olinsky is fatally shanked while incarcerated in the season 5 finale. Anna Avalos, Voight's recurring CI in Season 9, is shot and mortally wounded by Halstead and Upton while holding Voight at gunpoint as he vainly tries to talk her down. | |

After Dawson, disguised as a guard, "breaks up" the fight: After Olinsky dies in prison, the rest of the team stop at nothing to get the person who ordered the hit, a drug cartel lord. While they don't immediately find him, they find his wife, who tells Burgess that he sells furniture. Burgess sees through her Blatant Lies and slaps her: Gets deflected when Atwater and Rojas take down a suspect: | |

Ship Tease: A little between Halstead and Lindsay, which leads to them becoming a couple up until her departure. Now it's between Halstead and Upton. They finally make it official in "Tender Age". Also quite a bit between Ruzek and Burgess, which has led to them expecting (and unfortunately, losing) a child. This leaves Burges quite ambivalent about becoming a couple with Ruzek again after the incident, but they're working on it. Between Platt and Mouch, which sees them get married. Apparently some between Atwater and Rojas, as even after their flirting in their first meeting, they're almost always paired together as a fake couple when undercover or backing each other up on takedowns. | |

Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique | |
| Chicago P.D. / int_e154ff08 | comment |
Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique: Voight will use official interrogation rooms and techniques when investigating something that isn't time sensitive. But if the clock is running down, or he's in a really bad mood, Voight will show why the mere mention of his name will get many of Chicago's criminals shaking in fear. With time running out to find Diego's kidnappers, Voight convinces Antonio to beat the truth out of a suspect. In the crossover event with SVU, Olivia Benson has to tell Voight not to do this to the arrested child molester, because she needs to bring their perp back to New York to close a kiddie porn ring. Olinsky gets properly angry when investigating people smugglers, and Voight (of all people) actually has to step in and pull his friend back from going too far with this style of interrogation. | |

Watch the Paint Job | |

Watch the Paint Job: In "Thirty Balloons" in season 1, Atwater and Burgess get a brand-new Chevrolet Impala Interceptor that's fresh from the factory (20 miles on the odometer). When Platt gives them the keys, she tells them to bring the unit back in one piece at the end of their shift, because the 21st District commander is going to use the vehicle as a show car in a Toys for Tots parade. Subsequently, while on patrol, Atwater and Burgess end up picking up a female drug mule who's suffered a psychotic break due to a cocaine balloon in her body rupturing. In the resulting scuffle to subdue her, the passenger's door mirror is knocked off the car. After taking the mule to the hospital, Atwater and Burgess contemplate taking the unit to a CPD garage, but decide against it because, in Atwater's words, the garage takes up to a month to fix a flat tire. So they take it to a street mechanic to have it fixed. The damage is repaired, but later, while parked outside another crime scene, a cinder block at a nearby construction site falls on the hood, leaving a dent. | |

Dirty Cop | |
| Chicago P.D. / int_eb251937 | comment |
Dirty Cop: It's no secret Voight is heavily suspected of being this in the Chicago police department. Chicago Fire seemed to set up that he's pretending to be dirty in order to flush out street gangs, but developments on Chicago PD add more layers to it. Voight finally reveals to Intelligence he did indeed put himself out as a corrupt cop as a pipeline to take down high profile criminals as his deal with IA to get reinstated, but that doesn't completely clear if his hands are truly clean. The only thing that's certain is that Voight has always acted extra legally but still operates safely conscious and has Chicago's best interests at heart. While there are a fair number of honest cops in the city of Chicago, and Voight's unit is indeed cleannote Well, discounting a number of unsavory actions he, Olinsky and Jimmy Shi did in the past (in the sense that they're working against criminals), Chicago also has its fair share of corrupt cops. | |

Cartwright Curse: Seems to be suffered by everyone on Intelligence. Hookups within the unit (like Burzek or Linstead) not counting, anyone they try to have a romantic relationship with either dies, is on the other side of the law, or otherwise ends the relationship for some reason or another related to their line of work. Sometimes, it's a combination of the three. Not even Dawson's and Olinsky's marriages are immune. | |

Everybody Owns a Ford: Seasons 4 and 5 were a little prominent with GMC product placement. Halstead's Sierra and Antonio's Terrain were the only examples of this, though. Timeskip to Season 6, and by the end, all but Burgess and Ruzek are owners of products from Fiat-Chrysler/Stellantis. Voight gets a Dodge Durango SRT, Atwater a Charger Hellcat (although he's had it since Season 4), Halstead's rig is now a RAM 1500, and even Upton gets a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8. Ruzek catches up in Season 8 with a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. | |

Atwater to his younger brother Jordan for doing things that would gets most teenage boys killed in a Police Procedural.

When his son, Justin, and later, Olinsky are murdered, he coldly shoots their respective killers to death. Subverted in the Season 8 finale, "The Other Side". Voight was going to kill that episode's suspect, who has shot and critically injured Burgess and refused to divulge where he'd left her, but Upton talked Voight down. Then said suspect grabbed for Voight's gun, forcing Upton to shoot him. The episode ends with Voight incinerating the perp's body before burying it. A few episodes feature friends/family members of murder victims who carry out or attempt to execute this trope. | |

Big Sister Instinct: Lindsay has this for Nadia and is fiercely protective of her well-being. Burgess sometimes steps in as a big sister figure for Atwater's siblings and combines this with being a Cool Aunt to her niece. When her own sister is raped, Burgess stops at nothing to make sure that he is caught and the she gets 5 minutes alone with him before he is formally arrested. Bonus points for her being the younger sister of the two. | |

Faking the Dead | |

Faking the Dead: Curt Framingham in "Seven Indictments" NEARLY gets away from the Feds by doing this. He lures a brain-damaged homeless man named Leon Tremaine into a house and shoots him in the eye. He puts his watch and wedding ring on Leon's corpse, burning it with paint thinner before pulling the gas hose that blows up the house. But unbeknownst to him, Leon's friend Marv tells Trudy about Curt. Intelligence then tracks Curt and his accomplice Jane to a motel and they're both arrested for murder. | |

Running Gag | |
| Chicago P.D. / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Characters thinking Olinsky isn't around only for him to announce "I'm here!" and come out from his desk, obscured behind a pillar. Whenever Lindsay and Halstead are in a car together, she reiterates that he's not "allowed" to drive. | |

My Sister Is Off-Limits | |
| Chicago P.D. / int_fb56b948 | comment |
My Sister Is Off-Limits: Seeing their obvious attraction, Voight tells Halstead and Lindsay to stay away from one another. It's not that he really objects to the relationship in and of itself, but mainly just don't want romantic fallouts to get in the way of their focus on police matters. Interestingly, he also claims to be doing it to look out for Halstead. Lindsay has left a trail of broken hearts behind her, and Voight can't have that compromise his unit. As of season 3, Voight's changed his mind on this, and the two are in a public relationship. | |

With Friends Like These...: "What Do You Do" shows the Intelligence Unit getting taser qualified, which requires them to be zapped with a taser. Everyone seems a little too eager to zap each other. | |
