the opportunity arises. Detective Harry Garibaldi (Ken Olin, 1984–85) A transfer from the Midtown Precinct, Garibaldi is willing to bend rules to make a bust. He spends his nights in law school classes, juggling his schedules so that he can complete law school in four years. Partners with Detective Mayo. Fatally stabbed in season 6 while heavily in debt to loan sharks from gambling losses. Detective Patricia "Patsy" Mayo (Mimi Kuzyk, 1984–85) Much more "by the book" than her partner, Detective Garibaldi, and very defensive of her police practices. Well respected by her peers. She approached the married Captain Furillo, who politely declined a romantic relationship. Chief Daniels became infatuated with her in season 5 after reviewing a videotape of her being undressed by a predatory dentist; when Mayo rebuffed his advances, Daniels tried to have her kicked off the force, until Furillo intervened. At the beginning of season 6 she appears only occasionally, and also enters into a brief romantic relationship with Chief Daniels, much to the surprise of Furillo and the other officers. Lieutenant Norman "Guido" Buntz (Dennis Franz, 1985–87) Buntz is an effective officer with a natural detective's sense, but he often takes shortcuts and makes use of morally questionable tactics. He tends to dress in mismatched clothing and speaks in a distinctly working-class manner with a heavy Chicago accent (similar to Elwood Blues in The Blues Brothers). He also makes use of colorful imagery and uses as much profanity as television would allow at the time. His "Guido" nickname was used by people at his prior precinct, but nobody at Hill uses it. On his first day at Hill, he convinces a captain of the Polk precinct to retire so that Ray Calletano can take the position and leave the Hill, allowing Buntz to take Calletano's staff responsibility and make Buntz' job easier. Buntz develops a working relationship with Sid the Snitch, who feeds him information about major criminals. At one point he unwittingly becomes entangled with his dishonest previous partner from Midtown precinct, who is shaking down loan sharks for money; Buntz eventually tells him corrupt behavior is why he transferred out of Midtown and tells his friend he never wants to see him again. Buntz is frequently the target of internal investigations; in one case, a corrupt Internal Affairs investigator sets Buntz up, using Buntz's record to lend support to the setup. In the
