** Brett Mahoney ostensibly gets a promotion midway through season 2 for capturing Frank Castle, ostensibly going from "Sergeant" to "Detective sergeant," and transitioning from a uniform to plainclothes suit-and-tie. In the NYPD, that's not a promotion, but a lateral transfer - Brett's rank actually is still Sergeant, but he's now the supervisor to a squad of detectives in the Detective Bureau rather than a group of ten to twelve uniformed cops in the Patrol Bureau. This does slightly line up with the comics, where Brett is a Detective instead of a patrol officer. Also, the rank title isn't "Detective Sergeant," but "Sergeant - Supervisor Detective Squad". In season 3, he's officially ranked as a Detective with a Detective's shield, which would be a ''demotion'' as Sergeant is a supervisory rank while Detective is the same rank as Patrol Officer.
** In "World On Fire", Detectives Christian Blake and Carl Hoffman, two corrupt cops working for Wilson Fisk, shoot and kill a Russian thug in a precinct interrogation room for speaking Fisk's name. In real life, Blake and Hoffman would have been placed on modified assignment and administrative leave while an investigation was conducted into their actions. However, Fisk has paid off contacts in Internal Affairs to kill the investigation, enabling Blake and Hoffman to be back on the streets that very evening to help their fellow corrupt cops kill the survivors of Fisk's bombings of the Russians' hideouts. Ben Urich lampshades this when he sees Blake and Hoffman assuming command of the scene where Matt has holed up with Vladimir and a police officer who stumbled upon them.
--->'''Ben Urich:''' Detectives! I'd thought IAB would have you riding a desk after that thing with the Russians at the station.\\

** In "Condemned," when the police converge on the warehouse where Matt is holed up with Vladimir and a rookie patrol officer, Blake and Hoffman assume command of the scene and are shown giving orders to other cops. In the NYPD, detectives are at the same level in the chain of command as regular uniformed patrol officers, and technically can't give orders to anyone but junior detectives. Only those in the supervisory ranks can give orders to other cops. Then again, a significant number of the cops at the scene besides Blake and Hoffman are on Fisk's payroll, and they're there seeking to kill Vladimir, so they probably are well aware that they're not exactly doing things by the book.
