Hank Voight

**Sergeant Hank Voight** is a Sergeant in the Chicago Police Department and the current chief of the District 21 Intelligence Unit, badge number 32419.

## Personality

Inspired by his father to be a cop, Hank takes great pride in his job and works hard to protect his city. Indeed, his harsh methods are known to everyone including criminals and higher federal law agents. Another thing is to note is that while some may not agree with his methods they nevertheless respect him when he is able to accomplish the task. Ron Perry stated that he had several reasons not to put Hank in charge of the Intelligence Unit but his only for permitting it was because he gets results.

Voight portrays a tough guy that likes to get the job done, no matter how many people he hurts or how many rules he breaks and is perceived as dirty by others. However, this is because he follows his own code of justice. He will also not tolerate the threat of losing his badge something he worked his entire life to achieve.

He has been shown have a soft spot for troubled children, helping them and getting off the streets and making sure they have a chance at a better life. On some occasions, his generosity ends up being the cause of their undoing and death, and grief to Voight. So far, he has lost two of them, Hannah Cates and Darius, on different cases, though both committed suicide by cop.

He will also show genuine empathy to those who are wrongly accused and help out. This was seen when he apologized to a man that he accused of killing his family in *Disco Bob* and when he assured two teenagers who were accused of murder that he will find the culprit responsible in *Sanctuary*.

Despite his harsh methods to his unit, he nevertheless wants them all of them to have their own paths as he encourages Lindsay to go through with joining a task force or accepting a job in the FBI for her to better her own future and leave his shadow. He also helped Antonio get over his addiction in spite of the latter resigning and moving to Puerto Rico to be near his family.

Although having always had a strained relationship with his son Justin, he showed that he always loved him and wanted what was best for him. To that end, he had his criminal record expunged and had his son enlist in the military in order to put him on the right path and his methods were shown to be a success because when Justin came back home he settled down with his wife and had a son with her. Justin being killed was a major blow to Hank who did his best to track down the man responsible and killed him in revenge, at the cost of a proceeding investigation by the feds. Before pulling him off life support, Hank told his son that he did good after one final moment and said goodbye to him.

## Chicago P.D. Summary

### Season 1

Many other police officers and civilians suspect Voight of being a dirty cop. However, he is affiliated with Internal Affairs (IA), which is part of an operation to bring down some of the biggest names in Chicago's crime history.

In *8:30 PM*, Hank asks Graff for permission to interrogate his suspect. After some reluctance, the permission is granted and Vaughan finds himself detained in a room with the last person he'd want to see: a furious Hank Voight. With Olinsky standing guard outside, Voight implements his no-holds-barred style of interrogation to learn the name of the bombing mastermind: Ted Powell, a major player in the anti-government fringe movement. Turns out Powell knocked off Watts because Watts screwed up the bomb timing - it was supposed to detonate at 8:30 PM. As the team mulls this over, Powell issues an official statement on a fringe website: he not only declares war on the fire and police departments, but warns them it's just begun. However, a list of his recent visitors sparks another lead - and another dead body. This time it's in a warehouse that Halstead and Ruzek enter through the roof. There, they also find evidence of a third bomb, likely hidden in a white van near police headquarters... and set to go off in half an hour. Intelligence speeds downtown, locates the van - disguised with blue paint - and calls in the bomb squad to disarm it. Meanwhile, the crew spots Powell on a roof nearby awaiting his big moment, where a chase ensues. Voight has Sumner stay to handle the bomb while he and company jump into action, now on a race to detain Powell before the bomb detonates. They end up in a tense shootout on the roof until Voight bursts through and states they will bring him in alive before he shoots Powell in the shoulder. Goaded by the insane criminal, Voight holds him over the edge of the roof and relents only when Sumner relays that they dismantled the bomb. Voight taunts Powell on his failure and slugs a smug Powell in the face for good measure before Jay slaps on the cuffs for the wounded man. Intelligence proceeds to take the bomber away.

In *Chin Check*, Voight continues to help D'Anthony, after his cousin tries to force him into a life of crime. Hank goes to Trayzell to tell him to let D'Anthony go but the latter refuses. With help from Alvin, Voight kidnaps Trayzell and beats him until he agrees to release the young boy. At the end, he tells Erin that he can't see Justin because he had business. His business was to take D'Anthony to his aunt and gives her $5,000 to look after him and take care of his needs.

However they were able to find out Jeffrey was connected to the crimes and bring him in once he runs away.

Hank managed to take the heat away from his son; he subsequently forced Justin to enlist in the United States Army, where he would learn discipline and the proper way of life. Although shocked, Justin complied.

In *Different Mistakes*, Hank and his unit have to deal with a series of robberies that connect to his old partner Jimmy Shi. Despite beliefs that Jimmy is dirty, Voight doesn't think so, but they tail Jimmy and his crew - all toting serious firepower - to a shady club and just as it looks like another gambling shakedown. Subsequently, Voight orders a raid and captures them. Jimmy goes toe-to-toe with Voight, he explains that his operation to get names on everyone in the Triad. Jimmy lays into Voight, livid about the mistake, until Halstead interrupts his rage with news of another robbery/murder, this one at a location Jimmy's unit visited before the botched score. Based on the crime scene and the time of the crime, Voight makes an astute observation - someone's impersonating Jimmy's team. Voight then notes it is possible from overhearing their radio signals. Realizing the threat of this robbery crew, Voight agrees to work with Jimmy's squad to set up a sting and lure the real criminals into a fake gambling den. The impersonators take the bait, but the operation goes south when they use an unexpected flash bomb that puts some of Intelligence out of commission. This spurs a chase into the heart of Chinatown where Jimmy crashes his SUV into the suspects' car to enable an arrest. Voight comes to Jimmy's aid and helps him out of the totaled vehicle.

Much later, Voight drives to a secret meet-up with gang leader Maurice. After checking that Maurice came alone, Voight warns him he better have a good reason for calling him. Maurice says he has a shipment arriving and needs Voight to run clearance for him. As Maurice hands protection money over to Voight, patrol cars suddenly surround the area. Voight tells Maurice to keep his mouth shut. Stillwell emerges from between the squad cars to arrest Maurice and Voight. Stillwell tells Voight he’s finished.

## Chicago Fire Summary

Voight's methods have caused friction with Lieutenant Matthew Casey (Jesse Spencer), a firefighter with the Chicago Fire Department, alongside Gabriela Dawson, the sister of Detective Antonio Dawson. Casey arrived on the scene of a serious motor vehicle accident, where the driver (Voight's son Justin) had been drinking.

The passenger of the vehicle Justin hit was a 10-year old boy who was paralyzed by the waist down. Voight tried many illegal methods to stop Matthew Casey from filing a truthful report, first beginning with bribery, which then escalated to physical threats towards Casey and his fiancée.

Voight attempted to have Casey injured or killed, but was arrested by Dawson in a sting. While in prison he offers Gabriela Dawson information on who shot Antonio, who was working undercover at the time. This was in exchange for a future favor, which Dawson reluctantly accepted.

Internal Affairs (I.A.) later released Voight from prison and promoted him to Sergeant of the Intelligence Unit at CPD. Voight began working with Dawson and Detective Julie "Jules" Willhite to investigate a series of murders relating to pharmacy nurses. The case was related to a drug dealer named Thomas Cobb whom Voight killed to protect Casey. Unfortunately, Hallie was murdered after accidentally discovering a drug operation at the hospital she worked at.

Later in the series, he investigates a gang drive-by shooting which claimed the life of a young girl. Working alongside Dawson and Detective Erin Lindsay, Voight uses firefighter Joe Cruz's brother, Leon, who had former ties to the gang, as part of a sting. The operation ended with the successful capture of the intended gang lord, but also the deaths of two gang members.
