Traci Nash

A single mom with a six-year-old son, Traci (EnukaOkuma) prides herself on her independence. She is Andy’s best friend from the academy and just like Andy, she is smart and hard-working. Yet the persona Traci projects – one of authority and composure – is much different from how she actually feels. Behind the confidence and brashness hides a deep well of uncertainty.

Back Story

Meet Traci Nash, Andy’s best friend from police academy. The calm in the eye of the storm and the consummate confidant, Traci is the anchor for her fellow rookies at 15 Division. Traci reads people in a heartbeat, she suspects everyone who breathes, and she doesn’t have the patience for politics or subtleties. She’s also the only one of the five who didn’t go to college—but her street smarts almost make up for her lack of education. And she's got a weakness for Detective Jerry Barber. She met him at the Academy, and their affair's still going strong... Traci’s hard-won life experience and her straight-forward approach to policing are going to make her a successful rookie officer: it seems like she's got it all figured out. If only people knew...

Strengths

• A pragmatist. She has more life experience than the rest of her rookie friends put together.

• Level-headed. She's got a built-in instinct of how to handle herself on the beat.

• Able to juggle two very demanding roles.

Weaknesses

• Impatient. She's got no time for complainers.

• Scathing. She's got a pretty sharp tongue.

• When you juggle long enough, you always end up dropping a ball.

Traci's Secret

• Traci goes home to him every night: Leo, her six-year-old son
• She has a long, long relationship with one of her co-workers: Jerry Barber.
