༼ History
༽
Jessie Ryder graduated in the top 2% of his class at the Academy. He was working as a Patrolman during the Mayor's Inauguration when he noticed a gunman preparing to shoot the Mayor. Jessie without question jumped in front of the bullet. His act of heroism catapulted him into the position of local hero. Something Jessie hated but the Police Department and City Hall played it up as much as they could. It was during this time that Jessie learned about the politics of being a Police Officer and City Hall. He swore if he was ever in command he would never let politics influence how he ran a command. The welfare of those under his command would always come first.
Jessie not only enjoyed being a detective but he excelled at it. He was a one of the best that the Homicide Division had ever seen, and Jessie probably would've enjoyed being a Detective until he got his Gold Shield. However he saw the abuses of power from his own Captain and others like him. So to help and protect others from getting trampled on Jessie took and passed the Captain's exam. During that time Jessie heard of the Special Victims Unit. Jessie expressed his interest in that Unit because he saw the potential of the Unit, and the fact that many times since it was a Specialized Unit many in City Hall and in the Department left it alone. Jessie saw the opportunity to help make a difference but also not be interfered too badly.

* I know I made him older but I figured he was the Captain/Veteran. Also my other CS (another female detective) will be up within 24 hours!*
