5 mistakes in season 6 - chronological order

(4 votes)

The Crime Scene - S6-E6

Character mistake: Jake and Rosa are looking around in The Apartment for months. 14 CIS workers are analyzing The Apartment. All of them are looking for a killer who never left The Apartment. Still, in multiple months no-one thinks about checking the person-sized vents. Seems pretty unlikely. Vents are literally the first thing anybody thinks about when people try to disappear. And a vent of this size is a dead giveaway that someone for sure would have checked.

Casecation - S6-E12

Factual error: Amy is wearing a NYPD detectives badge even though she is a Sergeant at this point in the show. (00:01:00 - 00:21:20)

Casecation - S6-E12

Continuity mistake: Jake mentions that he's never wanted kids, however he has mentioned loads of times in previous seasons/episodes about wanting to become a Dad.

Operation: Broken Feather - S1-E15

Adam Sandler: This is terrible, you don't know what you're doing.
Jake Peralta: Adam Sandler?
Adam Sandler: Yeah, that's right. I collect antiquities. I'm a serious person. I'm writing a movie right now, about the Russian revolution.
Jake Peralta: Oh, really? Who does Kevin James play in it?
Adam Sandler: Ha ha. It's a serious movie...Trotsky.
Jake Peralta: Ah, there it is.
Adam Sandler: But he's got a wife who never wears a bra. [To the guy next to him] I think you're going to like it.
Jake Peralta: Thanks for dressing up, by the way.

Show generally

Question: Over several episodes we see Captain Holt in competition with other Captains for the position of Commissioner. However, we have seen several Deputy Commissioners on the show. Is Commissioner a position that only Captains are eligible for? Are Deputy Commissioners ineligible? How realistic is this?

Answer: In reality, the Commissioner is a civilian administrator, appointed by the mayor of New York City. He (as of this writing, the role has always been filled by a man; the show gets that part right) is usually someone who has risen through the ranks of the NYPD, but upon becoming Commissioner, is no longer a sworn member of the force (the highest sworn rank is that of Chief). Since Commissioners are appointed, technically anyone can serve in the position, including Deputy Commissioners (who are appointed, in turn, by the Commissioner himself).

Update: On 1 January 2022, Keechant Sewell became the first ever female commissioner of the NYPD.
