TV show description:
From the beaches of wealthy Malibu to the streets of urban East Los Angeles, this fast-moving drama takes viewers inside the lives of cops, criminals, victims and their families.

John Cooper (Michael Cudlitz) is a seasoned and gruff LAPD officer who’s assigned to train Ben Sherman (Ben McKenzie), a young rookie from a wealthy background. Cooper’s honest and no-nonsense approach to his job — “You do what they teach you in the Academy, you will die.” — leaves Sherman questioning if he has what it takes to become a police officer.

Detective Lydia Adams (Regina King) is a tough cop at work and the primary caregiver of her ailing mother at home. Adams’ partner is Detective Russell Clarke (Tom Everett Scott), who is unhappily married and the father of three.

Detective Daniel “Sal” Salinger (Michael McGrady) is the leader of a team of gang detectives that includes Nate Moretta (Kevin Alejandro) and Sammy Bryant (Shawn Hatosy).

Meanwhile, patrol officer Chickie Brown (Arija Bareikis) is a single mom who dreams of being the first woman accepted into the male-dominated SWAT.
