Marina Squerciati - Kim Burgess
Marina Squerciati is back as Kim Burgess, a longtime member of CPD's Intelligence Unit who is taking the leap to become a detective in Chicago P.D. Season 12, Episode 6.
After Kim was absent in the first two episodes of Chicago P.D. Season 12, she returned to active duty in Episode 3 to help her team deal with an armed robbery case.
In the latest episode, Kim is given a case as an acting detective with another shadowing her on the field to see if she has what it takes to become a lead investigator.
During her investigation, Kim forgets to take prints from a car that was touched by one of the suspects after she actively pursues another assailant.
Rattled by her mistake, she does her best to solve the case, leading to a tense confrontation with the gunman. Her assigned supervisor decided that they split up, and she was forced to fight the suspect off alone.
While she managed to kill the suspect, Kim still covered for her supervisor for her bad call, which surprised Voight.
In the end, she was promoted to detective by the Deputy Chief, with her being ultimately assigned back to Intelligence with the rest of her peers.
Squerciati has credits in Marshall, It's Complicated, and The Americans.
