Jeff resides in a small apartment in Manhattan with his six-year-old daughter.

Insuring she’s well adjusted and not denied any necessity.  He tries not to spoil her, but doesn’t deny his need to lavish her with gifts on occasions. 

He’s got a reserved personality. The only time he’s totally relaxed is at home with his daughter and with a few choice friends when he’s not on duty. He’s not known to drink heavily, just socially and then as little as he can get away with. The closest thing to a hobby he has is love of puzzles.  Most of the pictures in his home were created from them with the exception of family photos.  He chooses not to date at this time because he want to concentrate on Nicole. 

Right out of college Jeff joined the Richmond Virginia police force and worked there for two years before joining their crime lab. He spent one year there before transferring to DC. There he met and wed his wife. He applied for the NY position in the early spring and started working this summer. He felt he seriously needed a change from DC where all his memories are.

Demeanor = Polished speaker
Concept = Organizer
Residence = 2nd floor of Mahoney's Irish Pub
Relationships = Single. Currently dating Carolyn Donovan, M.D. He helped her get her new office set up in the Brooklyn Heights Mall.

Dennis had worked for his father for a long time, tending bar and taking sports wagers. His grandfather had migrated from Dublin, Ireland years ago and built Mahoney's Irish Pub in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn. The family had always struggled to make ends meet, probably because grandpa had a gambling problem. Dennis' father also had the gambling gene, but he decided to make the bar more profitable by offering sports gambling. That way he controlled the spread and knowing his customers' homer tendencies, managed to make decent profits.

The problem was he was competing against the local Mafia operations. He was a true Irishman and never buckled under to their pressure. In 2002 he was found shot in the back of the head in an alley, assumedly by the Tattaglia family.

Dennis took over, and quickly added the numbers rackets to the family income. Numbers is highly popular in the city and the police tend to look the other way because the politicians want things that way. Once again, Dennis little operations were noticed by the Italian families and little conflicts arose. He realized that the Genovese family, under the direction of Don Diego Farina, was gaining control of the city over the Tattaglia family, including refuse removal, gambling and the numbers operations.

Dennis set up a meeting with Diego and convinced him that they would both benefit by joining forces in Brooklyn to squeeze the Tattaglia family and the Russian Mafia out. It worked. Dennis now handles all the gambling and numbers operations in Brooklyn and feeds the Genovese family ten percent of the profits.
