  (#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.

  (#18) Zack Nichols

  Detective Nichols grew up with two psychiatrists for parents, and, in an act of rebellion, decided to become a police officer. After 9/11, he takes seven years off the force, and the only known clue of his whereabouts is a postcard he sends to the squad postmarked in Cleveland, OH. He eventually returns to the force, and continues solving crimes. In his spare time, Zack Nichols (Jeff Goldblum, Law & Order: Criminal Intent) loves to play the piano. He eventually reconciles with his father when the two of them solve a case together before Nichols retires.

  (#26) Nina Cassady

  A less experienced Detective than the rest of the officers on the force, Nina Cassady (Milena Govich) creates instant tension the moment she walks into Precinct 27. Nicknamed "Detective Beauty Queen" by her fellow homicide unit team members for her role in a shootout that occurred in a hair salon, Cassidy is constantly goaded for being an inexperienced, female, detective. After losing her temper during an investigation, Cassady is reprimanded and fired.

  (#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.

  • Law & Order

  Detective Kevin Bernard (Anthony Anderson) first appeared as a member of the Internal Affairs Bureau, investigating the shooting of Ed Green. Bernard is Catholic, and very conservative. He is pro-life, and understanding towards those who hate illegal immigrants.

  (#6) Ed Green

  • Law & Order

  Despite his unorthodox methods, Detective Ed Green (Jesse L. Martin, Law & Order) is a valued member of the NYPD. He often butts heads with his superiors, because he believes in bending the law in order to catch a perp.   

  Green is shot in the line of duty, and takes a hiatus from the police force while he recovers in the hospital. A few years after his return, he is involved in a shooting, and indicted before the Grand Jury. Although he is cleared of all charges, he decides to retire from the force because he has now "broken every rule in the book."
