Detective Steve Carella is the backbone of the 87th Precinct. A man of quiet integrity and sharp investigative skills, he represents the human side of police work. He is often the one who connects the dots in complex cases, relying on a combination of routine, intuition, and the support of his colleagues.
Carella’s personal life is a recurring theme in the series, particularly his relationship with his wife, Teddy. Their bond provides a grounding influence in the often chaotic and violent world of Isola.
