* CHEATSHEET: alvin olinsky, updated 30/05.
i write alvin olinsky as : head of intelligence. voight is gone, whether he wasn't there - or he's dead, is voight dependent. he helped pick out everyone on the team. he will vouch for either of them.
he's always told them to tell him their truth, the ugly and bad, and that whatever happens he has their back. that's the one thing he's taken to him from voight. you tell me the truth, and i will lie for you.
alvin in his main verse, is divorced from meredith, but he finds love with trudy platt. they get married ( no he doesn't die, don't be foul, this is a safe space ) they never adopt or have more kids. alvin has his two daughters; and the entire intelligence team.

* INTELLIGENCE UNIT ( olinsky's version )
antonio dawson: antonio has been on the team since olinsky took over. brought him over from narcotics - he'd always admired what he'd heard about antonio. his work with the police youth foundation. antonio is olinsky's second in command ( along with cooper dawson ) and he values his opinion on tasks they've got ahead of him. he will turn to him for advice.
cooper dawson: when cooper transferred from new york, alvin's interest was immediately peaked. the cop showed more integrity than he often sees in cops. something he could see himself in. that is why cooper is second in command along with antonio dawson. olinsky will let either of the two take over as acting boss whenever he's out of duty, for whatever reason.
erin lindsay: erin came into alvin's life as a teenager, a troubled one, but it was something he could relate to. quickly ... erin felt like a daughter to him. she soon became a part of the olinsky family - they took her in when olinsky realized that bunny was an unfit mother. olinsky will go to war for anyone in his team, but especially erin lindsay. he doesn't give her special treatment at work, but he loves her in a way he doesn't love the others. that's his child. he trusts her judgement, but he is also one of the first to notice when she's off the rails, and he will always be there to help her come back to shore. back to herself and her happiness - even if that someday isn't intelligence anymore.
jay halstead: as a fellow ex-army man, olinsky understands jay in a way voight never did. he noticed soon after seeing jay's application on their desk, that he had something the others didn't. he was an exceptional shooter with a long gun - and olinsky knows that his brain isn't wired in the way a traditional cop's is. voight didn't want him on at first, but olinsky put down his foot and insisted. no team without halstead, was his words.
adam ruzek: adam ruzek was someone olinsky had high expectations for ( and rightfully so ) alvin always scouts the police academy for new talent, he doesn't want the chicago pd to be an old boys club. so he'd been keeping an eye on adam ruzek long before he met him, and when he saw him in action? he saw raw talent. so he pulled him right out of the academy and into duty - made him his own partner. and every day he was impressed by adam's willingness to learn new things, he always listens. even before alvin began to see his new partner as more of a family member than a coworker. however, that doesn't come in the way of duty. if anything, it just makes olinsky more protective ( and more proud ) of adam.
kevin atwater: tba.
kimberly burgess: alvin has a soft spot for kim - but it comes from a place of caring for adam ruzek. he sees the way they look at each other, but that never made him worry for their jobs. he was always outspoken for kim's way to intelligence. he knows she deserves to be there - and he doesn't see the difference between erin and jay working together while having clear feelings for each other ( despite them trying to be secret around it ) so a relationship would never stop alvin from adding someone onto the team. he does however warn both adam and kim to not let work get in the way of their personal life, yes you heard that right - not the other way around. alvin has already done that with one marriage and lost the battle.
hailey upton: tba.
ava moreno: alvin was first made aware of ava's story when she entered the academy - and when she kept passing every test with flying colors. but he waited a couple of months, before approaching her. he saw her anger, the grief she was carrying around ... and immediately knew she'd do better on his team. it's not just a unit, they're a family. they fight crime, but they do it while always having each other's backs. the reason why he waits until halfway-ish into her rookie year, is the fact that he wants to make sure she can use her anger productively. he doesn't need someone to crash out and risk the lives of the team, but he's always looking for someone with that fire in their eyes.
