Lt. Mendez grew up in the spanish slums of LA.  She comes from the mixed birth of Puerto Rican and African American parents.  Her parents died when she was in her early teens and she was raised by her aunt Rose.  She spent part of her youth involved in the Voodoo Boys street gang until she was arrested at 17 as a juvenile for narcotics offenses.  In an effort to save Marie the judge gave her the choice of becoming a police officer or going to jail and Marie took him up on it.  She graduated with honors from the academy and so impressed her instructors that she was granted her choice of assignment.  She chose  to immediately volunteer for SWAT and after more than a few commendations during her first 2 years she transferred to C-SWAT and rose in rank quickly.  She now acts as squad leader for her team, which has the highest success rating in Night City and its suburbs.      While at the academy, Marie began taking an interest in criminal Psychology and this has proved invaluable to her squad on more than one occasion.

Marie is stable minded and serious when it comes to her work, though she has expressed a rather dark, sometimes morbid sense of humor.  She also suffers from a short temper and has shown an aversion to authority.

Due to her latin/black heritage, Marie has a very short fuse when dealing with racism.  It has also been observed she strives harder to prove herself because of her gender, and becomes agitated when doubt is shown towards her due to reasons of her sex.  She does however have a very close relationship, almost familial with her squad, and the entire squad treats outsiders with a bit of contempt.  Since assuming the role of command over her squad Marie has only lost two members, both in the line of duty.

Marie is an excellent field commander and a fine officer, her investigative skills however need sharpening.  She usually partners with Sgt. Smooth.

Jack Smooth is not his real name, his real name is unknown.  He was found 6 years ago wearing a tattered police uniform and suffering from severe amnesia.  Although he could not remember anything about his former life it was obvious he had been a police officer, his knowledge of police procedure and police slang made this clear.  He spent 6 months in therapy and adopted the name of Jack Smooth due to his flirtatious ways with the nurses.  After a refresher course at the academy, Jack was transferred to traffic and spent two years there before he was caught in the blast of a car bombing near the combat zone.  60 percent of his body was destroyed and the department opted to outfit him with an enforcer total conversion package, once again he spent time in therapy and was then transferred to C-SWAT.  It was here that he met LT. Mendez and the two became close friends.  Rumors have spread that the two are lovers but these reports are unconfirmed and unlikely, as Jack prefers more demure women.

Sgt. Smooth is rebellious and arrogant, but nevertheless a good officer and since becoming full conversion his bravery is unparalleled, he is often the first volunteer for any given hazardous situation.  He is well liked and well respected by all the members of his squad, and is possibly the most outgoing of them all.  He has a rough, street edged sense of humor and sharp biting wit.

Before the conversion jack was a strong black male and while his past is unknown it is believed due to his outspoken nature that he might have had some hand as a community leader in his off time, this is just a theory, he could have just as well been a stand-up comedian.

Due to Sgt. Smooth's increased bravery caused by his cybernetic conversion, he quite often requires extensive repairs and upgrades, this can be quite expensive but is overlooked by the department due to his arrest record.

Jack, even though he is full borg, is a ladies man, and apparently his reproductive organs are still intact and functioning.  His personality is that of a street casanova, and it seems to work quite well for him.
He usually partners with Lt. Mendez.

Officer Jameson comes to us after a long career in the United States Marine Corps, where he received several decorations including the purple heart, which he still wears pinned to his helmet.  After serving for 21 years he  retired from the armed forces at the age of 39 and moved to Night City where he quickly enrolled at the academy and then  eventually transferred to C-SWAT.  While he is relatively new to the squad he has been excepted with open arms, and his team work skills are quite exceptional.  He usually partners with Officer Cross.

Officer Jameson will only answer to Sarge, a habit picked up from his days as a Marine, and this can be quite confusing to outsiders.  he possesses a strong sense of duty and is considered to be a "hard ass" by his fellow officers.

Jameson's parents were Russian defector's, and instilled in him a strong sense of patriotism towards America. He has taken it upon himself to act as a father figure to the rest of the squad, imparting his wisdom knowledge and experience to any who will listen, as well as to those who don't.

Officer O'Malley is somewhat of a wild card.  If he weren't a cop he would be a criminal.  He joined the force after graduation from college and spent four years as a Vice Detective.  After his partner was killed by a cybered up booster gang he transferred over to C-SWAT.

Sean is something of a cold fish, only relating to those he feels he has to.  On very rare occasions he will open up to a team mate, but his social life out side the team is almost nonexistent.  Nor does he seem to feel any great need for privacy, as he sleeps at the station.  He usually partners with Officer Strap.

His father was a high school teacher in Recita, while his mother was a nurse's aid.  His grew up in a nice, but low income, area and his childhood was fairly normal.  It was when he went to high school that he developed his "cold shoulder".  Apparently  It had something to do with a friend of his who joined a skinhead group, he doesn't talk much about it.

O'Malley is about as calm a person as likely to be found, This is perhaps why he was chosen as the team's sniper.  Even though every member of the team is qualified, Sean is the only one who doesn't appear to mind sitting very still, and staying very focused, oblivious to everything but the target.  Of course when called for he is just as much the team member as any one.

Madeline joined the police after an extended stint in the navy where she had served as an MP for 10 years.  Her background was highly attractive to the NCPD when she joined 4 years ago.  Looking for action she opted to go straight to C-SWAT.

Madeline is a textbook cop, and she knows how to follow every regulation to the letter.  Although she is well liked by her comrades, there would seem to be a slight air of distrust towards her, probably because she is so strict about doing things by the book.  She is fairly knew to the team, and to the force for that matter, only time will tell where this situation will lead.  She usually partners with Officer Jameson.

Madeline's family has a long and proud heritage of serving in the armed forces.  When she was born she felt some resentment towards her because she was a girl and he wanted a son, but this soon gave way to her striving to prove herself, to any and every one, especially herself.  As a police officer she is every captains dream.

Officer Strap is the most recent addition to the squad, and has only been part for 3 months, and he has only been on the force about a year.  He is treated like a rookie, but at the same time he finds himself under the wing of his comrades.  His secondary specialty in the team medic, and while he is a liscenced physician, he has completed 2 years of med school, and is working on his third.

David is young, bright, cheerful, and willing to listen.  This helps to alleviate his lack of experience and cement him as part of the team.  HE usually partners with Officer 0'Malley.

His parents were farmers in Nebraska, and David spent his entire childhood never going further than the state line.  After his graduation from high school he joined the police academy and transferred to straight to Night City.  He had lived his entire life in a safe community, never getting to see what else was out there, and he wanted excitement.  finding patrol to boring he decided to go straight to where the action was and signed up for C-SWAT duty.  He was assigned to Marie's squad as a replacement for Mickey Reno, who resigned earlier this year.

Chris Yamitaka served proudly as a Green Beret before joining the force.  He had been a reconnaissance specialist and was severely wounded after stepping on a landmine in Brazil.  He was given a Spider full conversion package, and became so good at his job that his superiors feared he was beginning to enjoy it.  In an effort to correct a mistake before it happened they transferred him beck to the states as an instructor.  It backfired and he resigned from the military.  Still hungry for action he moved to Night City and joined the police, thinking this would be as close as he could get to the battlefield without going merc.  When he resigned from the military they downgraded his body to an Alpha, so when word reached him of the experimental new conversion package for the police department he volunteered immediately.  He was outfitted and is kept in therapy and under close watch to gauge the effects and performance of the new body.

Chris is rather arrogant, and likes to bark orders.  And while he won't attempt it in front of Marie, he does tend to push his weight around.  He is also highly aggressive, and its possible he may be suffering the early stages of Cyberpsychosis.  He Usually partners with Officer Salinkatzleznic.

Arista is the youngest member of the team, and is given the job of being the designated ACPA pilot.  She was born in Chekoslavakia and immigrated with her family to the US.  After her father was killed in a robbery she decided to become a police officer.  It wasn't until she joined the Academy that she discovered powered armor suited her, almost perversely.  There is nothing she would rather do, and even most of her down time is spent in one simulator or another.

Arista is shy and sensitive, and tends to be a bit naive.  Her youth and positive outlook make her a perfect addition to the team.  And her partnering with Officer Yamitaka works well, as it balances out the negative personality aspects of both of them.

Despite her naiveté, Arista knows she is the heavy gun of the team, and marvels in that position.  She knows that outside her armor she is weak and somewhat mousy, perhaps that is why she she loves the armor so much.

Arista is interested in David, but has yet to say anything, and her innocent personality is perhaps the biggest contributor to keeping Chris, and the rest of the team for that matter, in check.  When socializing the team is very protective of Arista, treating her like a younger sister.

Charles Mason was transferred into C-SWAT from Homicide as an experiment.  The goal of the experiment was to try and see if teaching the officers of C-SWAT the finer points of investigation might curtail the level of violence associated with C-SWAT cases.

Charles was brought up in the suburbs of Pasadena, where he led a normal and happy life, that was until the collapse.  Even in the relative safety of Pasadena the effects of the collapse were rampant, rioting, looting, utter lawlessness at the worst of it.  It was during this time Charles decided that the world needed structure, it needed rules, and it needed someone to enforce them.  Charels decided then and there he would bea police officer, and made every preparation he could in his teen years to ready himself for that career.  After graduation from the academy he made detective after only 3 years on patrol.  Since then he has made a name for himself on the force, including cracking the case of the notorious serial killer "The Taxi Cab Killer" last year.  In fact it was his experience in that case that led to his recent assignment to C-SWAT.  It seems a new serial killer has sprung up, one whom all evidence suggests is heavily cybernetically augmented.

The rest of the team has treated Charles Mason's presence as an unwanted intrusion.  He is finding it increasingly difficult to work with them, and things may come to a head soon.

Katrina was born to Jack and Sandy Stramel, who raised her as best they could in the slums of Night City.  Her father was a police officer, and young Katrina idolized him.  When he was killed during a drug bust in 2008, her mother was shattered.  When Katrina anounced she was going to become a police officer at her graduation party, Katrinas mother nearly sufferred a nervous breakdown.  She cut off contact with her daughter for two years, though the have begun to patch things up.  Katrinas mother now teaches abnormal psychology at NCU.

In 2013, Katrina met and fell in love with fellow officer Simon Masters.  The two were married a short time later, soon after that they were expecting.  Four months into her pregnancy, Katrina miscarried.  Seven months Later Simon was killed while off-duty in a random drive-by.  No one was ever charged, and Katrina came close to a nervous breakdown.  She dove into her work out of a sense of desperation, taking enough risks to earn her a black mark..  When she heard Vice was looking for someone to go undercover she jumped at the chance, possibly out of some sense of self destruction.  Unbeleivably, she excelled there, making bust after bust.  Her ability to gain peoples confidence makes her one of Night Cities  finest undercover  officers.

Recently,  under the same premise as Charles Mason, Katrina was pulled from an assignment and placed with C-SWAT to give them an undercover expert in the search for this latest serial killer who seems to be targeting young attractive females in the corporate sector.  Her presence is tolerated in the squad much more warmly than Charles, most likely due to the high level of denger inherent in her former assignment.  Being an attractive female doesn't hurt either.
