Coby Bell: Tyrone Davis

Quotes 

• Lieutenant Swersky : Davis, you'll be in 5-5 David with a brand new probationary patrolman fresh from the academy.

  Officer Tyrone Davis : A rookie? Seriously?

  Lieutenant Swersky : Oh, after the fine homicide arrest you made the other day, I'm making you a Field Training Officer.

• Off. Brendan Finney : Oh, I'd like to drive.

  Officer Tyrone Davis : Oh, I'm sure you would. PPOs don't drive. I will let you do all the paperwork produced by our unit until I feel you've earned the right to drive. How about that?

• Officer Tyrone Davis : [to Finney]  I'm your Field Training Officer. That means I evaluate you at the end of each day. So far you've run another RMP off the road, you've pointed a gun at a ten-year-old, and you've completely disrespected a superior officer. I would suggest you adjust your attitude and start listening to me or your career's gonna be over before it starts. I don't give a damn who your daddy is.

• Officer Tyrone Davis : [to Finney]  You did, uh, you did good.

  Off. Brendan Finney : Doesn't feel like it.

  Officer Tyrone Davis : That's rough. That's the hardest thing you're ever gonna have to do.

  Off. Brendan Finney : They forgot to tell us about that at the academy.

  Officer Tyrone Davis : Oh, everyday you're gonna come across things they never told you. The academy's like a foundation. Out here's where you learn to be a cop.

  Off. Brendan Finney : Ever feel like you weren't gonna be able to do it?

  Officer Tyrone Davis : The job? Yeah. All the time. Look... when you're out here you can't control the day. That's what I was trying to tell you earlier. You - - you don't get to choose what happens to you. And you don't just go running around balls out from one thing to the next. Doesn't work like that. The only real control you have is to be as prepared as you can possibly be. For whatever. Whatever the public needs from you that day. To me, that's what it means to be the police. So that's my little speech.

• Officer John Sullivan : Yeah. I've been with a rookie. The perks aren't worth it.

  Officer Tyrone Davis : Well, it was no picnic for me either. I didn't get any perks.

  Officer John Sullivan : Hey, I gave you a million dollars worth of law enforcement knowledge.

  Officer Tyrone Davis : Right. We're "solving problems." That's genius.

• Officer Tyrone Davis : Davis

  [to Finney on his first call] 

  Officer Tyrone Davis : You gonna shoot that little boy, or you gonna put your gun away?
