Chicago PD season 12 cast and characters
Season 12 is the latest season following the exploits of the fictional Intelligence Unit of the 21st District of the CPD. The series stars Jason Beghe as Sgt Hank Voight, who leads the Intelligence Unit with a mercurial demeanor.
However, he has an underlying sense of compassion and duty towards his subordinates. He has sometimes crossed ethical lines in dealing with cases he's been too emotionally invested in, including interrogation methods that could be considered police brutality.
Other returning characters to Chicago PD season 12 include Officer Adam Ruzek, played by Patrick John Fluegar. Adam was introduced as a rookie hired by Alvin Olinsky to be an undercover cop. He has an impulsive demeanor and tends to jump into situations without thinking things through.
Officer Kim Burgess is played by Marina Squerciati, who used to be a flight attendant prior to joining the Chicago Police. She starts out as a patrol officer who gradually ascends the ranks before being offered a position in the Intelligence Unit in season 4.
Officer Kevin Atwater is played by LaRoyce Hawkins. Kevin started out as Kim's partner as a patrol officer, prior to his promotion to the intelligence unit. He has a family life that is featured prominently on the show, with him caring for his younger siblings, Jordan and Vanessa.
The two eventually ended up in trouble thanks to Jordan testifying to the Chicago Grand Jury about a crime he witnessed, which caused Vanessa to be targeted in retaliation. As a consequence, Kevin ultimately had his siblings move to live with their aunt in Texas.
Officer Dante Torres is played by Benjamin Levy Aguilar. Dante was introduced to Chicago PD as a guest character in season 9 before being promoted to series regular in season 10. He was introduced to the series as a protege of Detective Hailey Upton Halstead.
Desk Sgt Trudy Platt is played by Amy Morton. She's the supervising officer of the patrol officers of the 21st district. She has a deadpan, snarky demeanor, which has made her seem prickly or unapproachable by some. Nonetheless, she cares deeply for her subordinates and will go bat for them if need be.
In season 1 of Chicago PD, she developed a rivalry with Kim Burgess by trying to offload errands on her. When Kim lashed out as a result of this, Trudy retaliated by giving Kim a "smelly car" assignment, alongside Kevin Atwater.
Chicago PD season 12 will be airing Wednesdays on NBC, and will be available for streaming the next day on Peacock.
