Officer Down - S1-E4

Factual error: Danny and Jackie Curatola are with ESU to make an arrest at a garage. They are behind cover with their weapons drawn. Although there is no suspect shooting at them, both Danny and Jackie have their fingers on the trigger, which is against police training unless you are going to engage a subject by shooting your weapon. The ESU officer right next to them does not have his finger on the trigger. (00:38:04)

Snag.1

Fresh Start - S6-E15

Factual error: The NYPD Sergeant in uniform speaking to Danny only has Sergeant stripes on the left sleeve of his uniform. An NYPD Sergeant has stripes on both sleeves. (00:03:14)

Snag.1

Blowback - S6-E22

Factual error: At The End of the episode, Mayor Poole is on TV discussing the recent police shooting. He refers to officer Meeks as a shooting death. Officer Meeks was wounded in the neck with spine injuries and retired medically.

Your Six - S8-E20

Factual error: Danny shoots Frank's revolver, and as he continues to shoot, you hear the sound of a casing hitting the floor, which shouldn't happen since it's a revolver being fired. (00:11:46)

Snag.1

Fog of War - S10-E14

Factual error: During the funeral towards The End of the episode, both Jamie and Eddie are wearing white shirts with their dress uniforms. In the NYPD, only Lieutenant and above wear white shirts, like the show has portrayed. The color doesn't change for the dress uniform. (00:38:35 - 00:41:14)

The End - S11-E15

Factual error: The badge the ATF Special Agent is displaying on his suit jacket is wrong. It's the wrong shape and style of an actual ATF Badge. (00:02:57)

Mother's Day - S2-E22

Trivia: In episode 2x22 "Mother's Day" the scene at the start was filmed at Brooklyn's American Veterans Memorial Pier, at Bay Ridge Ave aka 69th St, in Bay Ridge (off Belt Pkwy). The location and design of this pier is distinctive and also sentimental (particularly to older Brooklynites).

Show generally

Question: Why why does Danny always yell, "hey!" When he's is a half a block from the perpetrators which gives the perpetrators 1/2 block head start running from Danny. Why doesn't he wait until he's close to him and he wouldn't have to chase him so far?

Answer: It's a common cop show plot device. If the police on the show always acted in the most logical way (i.e. not alerting a suspect to their presence) the show wouldn't have the opportunity for an exciting foot chase.
