The official trailer for the series dropped in May and featured Regina Haywood as the newly promoted deputy inspector. She leads a diverse group of officers and detectives, some of whom are reluctant to accept her creative methods of serving and protecting citizens in the midst of social upheaval.

The synopsis for episode 1 reads:

"Amanda Warren stars as Deputy Inspector Regina Haywood, the newly promoted boss of the 74th Precinct in East New York – a working-class neighborhood on the edge of Brooklyn in the midst of social upheaval and the early seeds of gentrification. With family ties to the area, Haywood is determined to deploy creative methods to protect her beloved community with the help of her officers and detectives."

It further adds:

"But first, she has the daunting task of getting them on board, as some are skeptical of her promotion, and others resist the changes she is desperate to make. She has a vision that her and the squad of the 74th Precinct will not only serve their community – they’ll also become part of it."

Her team includes Chief John Suarez, who is her mentor and a shrewd veteran two-star. Marvin Sandeford, a highly respected training officer and expert on the neighborhood, and Tommy Killian, a detective with some old-school approaches to the job, will also serve under the new deputy inspector.

Capt. Stan Yenko, Haywood’s gregarious and efficient right hand, Crystal Morales, an intuitive detective who can’t be intimidated, and Andre Bentley, a trainee from an upper-middle-class background, will be members of her esteemed team as well.

Regina Haywood will also be seen working closely with an ambitious patrol officer, Brandy Quinlan, who will be the sole volunteer to live in a local housing project as part of Haywood’s plan to bridge the gap between the police and the community.

The series is executively produced by Andrew Maher, Christine Holder, Mark Holder, Michael M. Robin, Mike Flynn, and William Finkelstein.
