Tensions are rising in Chicago P.D. as the arrival of Chief Reid, played by Shawn Hatosy, brings a fresh wave of conflict to the Intelligence Unit. Reid isn’t just another bureaucrat—he’s a calculated strategist who knows exactly how to exploit weaknesses to get what he wants. And his latest target? Officer Dante Torres.
Chief Reid’s Strategy: Using Torres to Get to Voight
According to Hatosy, Chief Reid sees Torres as a key piece in his power play against Hank Voight. Torres, still relatively new to Intelligence, is fiercely loyal but also navigating the challenges of proving himself within the team. His vulnerability, combined with his street-smart instincts, makes him the perfect pawn for Reid’s manipulations.
Reid is no stranger to political maneuvering, and he understands that taking on Voight directly would be a losing battle. Instead, he plays a more insidious game—slowly working to undermine Voight by using Torres as leverage. Whether it’s offering the young officer opportunities, planting doubts, or forcing him into compromising situations, Reid’s moves are all designed to send Voight spiraling.
Voight’s Response: A Battle of Wills
Hank Voight has faced his fair share of challenges, but Chief Reid presents a different kind of threat. Reid doesn’t operate with fists or street justice—he plays the long game, using bureaucracy and influence to dismantle his enemies. For Voight, the challenge isn’t just about protecting his unit; it’s about recognizing the game Reid is playing before it’s too late.
With Torres caught in the middle, Voight may have to make tough choices to shield him from becoming a pawn in Reid’s larger agenda. Will Torres recognize Reid’s manipulations before it’s too late? And how far is Voight willing to go to keep his team intact?
What This Means for Chicago P.D.
This new power struggle adds another layer of complexity to Chicago P.D. Season 12. The show has always thrived on internal conflicts, but Reid’s arrival raises the stakes in a different way. Unlike past antagonists who have challenged Voight, Reid’s battle is being fought behind the scenes, using legal and procedural tactics rather than brute force.
Fans can expect high-stakes drama, intense confrontations, and a deeply personal test for both Torres and Voight. With tensions boiling, the question remains—who will come out on top in this battle of wits and strategy?
One thing is certain: Chief Reid’s presence will leave a lasting impact on Chicago P.D., and no one in Intelligence is safe from the fallout. Stay tuned for more explosive developments!
