Det. Cole Malcolm Washington

Cole grew up in Santa Lorena and lives alone in an apartment at the Hill Valley Apartment complex in the working-class McDonough Park neighborhood. He has a German shepherd-mix dog named Winchester, so named because he was found near the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose.

Cole’s father Andre was murdered in 1986. At 17, Cole vowed to avenge the murder, and he enrolled in the police academy immediately after graduating high school. He came out of the closet at the academy and was shunned by everyone in his class. Chief Evans, longtime friend of the Washingtons, hired him knowing he was gay. In time, Cole was accepted on the force after proving to them he was a good cop. His colleagues don’t necessarily embrace his homosexuality, but they don’t mind because he's a good detective.

Misc.:
•    Was lovers with Caillan Bailey, now a defense attorney, while in the academy
•    Has an Aunt Sarah

Leo quickly climbed the ranks, becoming Vincenzo’s personal bodyguard.
