Did You Know?

-ViCAP is a term used in enforcement. It stands for Violent Criminal Apprehension Program. It started out from a Los Angeles Police Department homicide detective named Pierce Brooks. During the 1970s, he was searching and hunting through papers on murders similar to what he was investigating at the time. His thought process was "What if this information was contained in a searchable system?" After pitching the idea to the Department of Justice, in the summer of 1985, Brooks became the manager of the then new ViCAP program. The system is only effective if law enforcement care enough to input data into the system

-There are at least three actual FBI agents who work as advisors on the show, to make sure things are accurate. They are Anne Beagan, Dan Fethiere and Scott Garriola. Scott and Dan are FBI technical advisors while Anne is an FBI special advisor

-In every episode, at one point or another, ASAC Valentine is seen carrying a pencil, whether it be behind his ear or using it as a pointer on the massive screens in the bullpen

-Originally, the character of Omar Adom Zidan was supposed to be Latino. But producers changed the character to be American, but of Middle Eastern descent to adapt to Zeeko Zaki's Egyptian heritage and his Muslim faith
