Teresa Colvin



Teresa Colvin is Jarek Wysocki's ex-partner and the Chicago Police Department's first female police superintendent, now in charge of a 10,000-member police force. She is a very tough and ambitious officer, unafraid to challenge government officials or demote officers she sees as incompetent, even at the risk of making enemies in the department. In the pilot she reveals that her parents' business and marriage were destroyed by the corruption in the city, and she has made cleaning it up a personal task. Teresa diplomatically governs amidst the complicated landscape of Chicago politics, while working with Jarek Wysocki to fight crime amidst the city's underbelly and trying to bring down the corrupt Alderman Ronin Gibbons.
