Brooklyn Nine-Nine Character Guide
Detective Jake Peralta is the main protagonist of Brooklyn Nine-Nine. He is a cocky and immature, but talented NYPD detective stationed in Brooklyn's 99th Precinct.
Peralta is a cop that has never had to work that hard or follow the rules too closely. Perhaps because he has the best arrest record among his colleagues, he's been enabled - if not indulged - throughout his entire career. That is, until the precinct gets a new commanding officer, Captain Raymond Holt, who reminds this hotshot cop to respect the badge.
Jake is a very competent detective with an incredibly immature, yet charming personality. He often butts heads with authority and teases his partner, and later wife, Amy Santiago. He has trouble expressing his emotions, preferring to crack jokes, but always shares his feeling eventually. He is extremely intelligent and calculating, but his intelligence is more focused on humor than his work.
He is a very laid-back individual, and takes his job seriously but likes the arresting-bad-guys part the most. Jake clashes with Captain Holt because of his practical, down-to-earth methods against Jake's wisecracking nature. He also has abandonment issues, given that his father left him at an extremely young age.
