Trivia
Dann Florek and Richard Brooks were both let go after the third season because producers felt the show needed female characters. They were replaced by S. Epatha Merkerson and Jill Hennessy respectively. Dann Florek was brought back for Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Richard Brooks returned in a few episodes of Law & Order to play the same character but as a Defense Attorney. See more »Goofs
Factual errors: In several episodes in the first season, Sgt. Greevey shows his credentials to identify himself, however the badge in the wallet is a NYPD "detectives" shield which is different from a Sgt's shield. See more »Quotes
