Cast and characters

Main

  • Shemar Moore as Sergeant II Daniel "Hondo" Harrelson,[4] a Los Angeles native and Marine who was promoted to team leader in a blatant attempt to ease the tensions between the community and the LAPD. He knows everyone in the neighborhood and treats them with respect, and they usually give him information pertinent to his cases. As a kid, Hondo and two of his best friends Leroy and Darryl ran with a gang, but after Darryl's death, Hondo went to high school and eventually joined the force. As a patrolman, Hondo lost his partner during a traffic stop.
  • Stephanie Sigman as Captain Jessica Cortez,[5] Commanding Officer of the LAPD Metropolitan Division and Hondo's lover.
  • Alex Russell as Officer III Jim Street,[6] a new transfer from the Long Beach Police Department. His mother Karen is in prison for murdering her abusive husband/Street's father; she was arrested by future SWAT Team Leader Buck Spivey.
  • Lina Esco as Officer III Christina "Chris" Alonso,[7] a canine officer assigned to SWAT. She is revealed to be bisexual.
  • Kenny Johnson as Officer III+1 Dominic Luca[7], a third-generation SWAT officer.
  • Peter Onorati as Sergeant II Jeff Mumford[8], the team leader of another SWAT Team alongside Hondo's.
  • Jay Harrington as Sergeant II David "Deacon" Kay,[9] a 10-year veteran of the SWAT Team who was passed over for promotion in favor of Hondo. He is the only member of the team to be married and have children.
  • David Lim as Officer III Victor Tan[10], a former officer with the LAPD Vice Squad. He joined SWAT three years prior to the series.

  • Bre Blair as Annie Kay[11], Deacon's wife of 10 years.
  • Peter Facinelli as Michael Plank[12], the President of the Los Angeles Board of Police Commissioners who is currently working with Captain Cortez on various initiatives designed to improve relations between the LAPD and the community.
