* In the pilot, a retired cop takes the law into his own hands to catch an arsonist who targets children (see below). Despite his means, he tells the cops he wants the culprit to face conventional justice, but admits that he'd settle for him to die in one of his own fires, which he later does.
Added DiffLines:
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Terry Jarvis is a condescending prick who is happy to undermine everyone around him if it benefits him. Buried deep beneath that, however, is an honest cop trying to close cases.
* JurisdictionFriction: Wolfe's murder squad frequently comes into conflict with Jarvis' drugs squad and the clashes are made all the more complicated because Wolfe is too honest to play politics like Jarvis does.
* RankUp:
** Matt passes the sergeant's exam and get duly promoted. This makes things tense for him and the rest of the murder squad, because he now has supervisory authority over his friends. He considers a move to a different squad but decides to stay and work through the awkwardness.
** Bernice Waverly starts the series as the murder squad superintendent before taking a temporary demotion to senior sergeant and then getting promoted up to Commander of Crime.

* BathroomStallOfOverheardInsults: An amusing variant in the pilot: Detective Jen Mapplethorpe is reassigned to Homicide under a different superior, DSS Sparkes, who quickly reveals how much he respects her by assigning her to filing and [[YouGetMeCoffee getting him coffee]]. She walks into the bathroom complaining aloud about Sparkes, only to be overheard by his superior, Superintendant Waverley, in the bathroom stall. Waverley privately agrees with her, resulting in Jen returning to Stanley's squad.

* AssholeVictim: "Cut and Dried" has a convicted child molester murdered in prison, and few of the detectives are motivated to investigate too thoroughly. [[spoiler: It's then subverted when it turns out he was genuinely repentant, was intending to give evidence against the pedophile ring he belonged to, and was in fact silenced by two of the prison guards.]]
