  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

NYC 22 is a CBS series following six NYPD rookies from their first day on the job with the 22nd Precinct. It first aired in April 2012.

The rookies are:

  • Ray "Lazarus" Harper (Adam Goldberg): A newspaper reporter laid off due to budget cuts, who apparently had to threaten to sue the department to be allowed into police academy. He is partnered with...
  • Tonya Sanchez (Judy Marte): An officer from a family with a criminal history.
  • Ahmad Kahn (Tom Reed): An Afghan immigrant who fought his way to freedom and has a serious chip on his shoulder because of it. Partnered with...
  • Kenny McClaren (Stark Sands): His family's been wearing blue since before he was born.
  • Jennifer "White House" Perry (Leelee Sobieski): A former Marine. Partnered with...
  • Jayson "Jackpot" Toney (Harold House Moore): A former NBA player who apparently squandered his career.

The precinct's senior officers:


The series provides examples of the following tropes:[]

  • The Alcoholic: Harper "was drunk for a year" following being laid off, then got his act together.
    • Or not. He still drinks too much, and Yoda's told him to find a group.
  • Bald of Awesome: Yoda.
  • Cunning Linguist: Kahn speaks at least Urdu and English.
  • Fake Nationality: Kahn's actor Tom Reed is from the UK.
    • Although he did mention living in London before coming to the US.
  • In-Series Nickname: Their Field Training Officer, Sgt. Daniel Dean, really dislikes being called "Yoda".
    • Ray Harper's called "Lazarus" because he's easily a dozen-plus years older than his fellow rookies.
    • Toney calls Perry "White House" because she was White House color guard after coming home from Iraq. Toney himself had the nickname "Jackpot" during his abortive NBA career.
  • One Steve Limit: Aversion played for laughs in the pilot. Sanchez has trouble finding her locker because there's at least two other Officer Sanchezes in the 22.
  • New Meat: Police Variant, The Series.
  • New York City Cops
  • Real Song Theme Tune: "Heart of the City (Ain't No Love)" by Jay-Z.
  • Semper Fi: Perry served as a Marine MP in Iraq, then as White House color guard (hence the nickname).
  • Sergeant Rock: Daniel Dean, their Field Training Officer.
