Will Kim Burgess Finally Get Her Long-Awaited Promotion in Chicago P.D. Season 12?

As Chicago P.D. Season 12 kicks off, fans are left wondering if this is the season where Officer Kim Burgess (played by Marina Squerciati) will finally get the promotion she deserves.

Kim Burgess has had one of the most dynamic story arcs in Chicago P.D.. From starting out as a patrol officer to working her way up to becoming a vital part of the Intelligence Unit, Burgess has constantly evolved. Her journey has been marked by resilience, especially after the traumatic kidnapping incident and her ongoing co-parenting situation with Adam Ruzek.

So far in Season 12, Burgess continues to show her leadership skills and tenacity on the job. However, while she is unquestionably a valuable asset to Intelligence, the question of her getting an official promotion to detective or sergeant status still looms. Her experience and maturity on the field, coupled with her ability to balance personal challenges, suggest that she’s more than ready for the next step in her career.

There are rumors and speculations floating around that this could be the season where Burgess is recognized not just for her hard work but also for her ability to lead. If anyone in the unit deserves a promotion, it’s her. Burgess has demonstrated an impressive capability for quick decision-making and critical thinking under pressure. Her experience with high-stakes cases and her natural ability to connect with victims show that she possesses qualities necessary for a leadership role within the unit.

However, promotions in Chicago P.D. often come with a cost. Intelligence has seen numerous shake-ups, and it’s possible that a promotion for Burgess could mean an even greater focus on the tensions within the team or her struggling balance between work and family life. Fans of the show have long been advocating for Burgess’ promotion, seeing it as a natural progression for her character. Her unwavering loyalty, strong moral compass, and ability to lead by example have made her a fan favorite, and many believe it’s time the writers give Burgess the recognition she’s earned.

While there has been no official confirmation from the show’s creators about a promotion, Season 12 is set to bring many surprises. Whether or not Burgess gets promoted, her storylines are bound to keep fans on the edge of their seats. If this is indeed the season she steps into a higher role, it would not only mark a significant moment for Burgess but also for the entire Chicago P.D. team. In the end, whether or not Kim Burgess gets her promotion this season, fans are ready to see her continue to shine as a crucial member of Intelligence—promotion or not. The spotlight is on her, and Season 12 could be the turning point in her career within the unit.
