Chicago P.D.
Chicago P.D.prides itself on featuring realistic police encounters, and having call signs is part of that.
Rather than use the names of theChicago P.D.characters, these call signs are meant to represent them instead.
In theOne Chicagouniverse,all the call signs inChicago P.D.
’s Intelligence Unit start with 5021.
The 50 representsChicago P.D.
’s specific unit in their fictional world, while the 21 represents the unit’s district in Illinois.
In addition, each character is given a name from the Police Phonetic Alphabet to represent them.
Their call signs may seem random at times, but they also have a meaning.

However,his call sign seemed to foreshadow his disappearance before it happened.
WhenHalstead leftChicago P.D., he was still using his code, 5021 George.
By having more distance between his letter and Voight’s,Chicago P.D.inadvertently foreshadowed Halstead’s departure.
’s Hailey Uptonalso has a lower-ranking call sign.
Therefore,her distanced call sign also represents her character’s distance, but in a different way.
However, her code could have also foreshadowed distance as Upton leftChicago P.D.in season 4.
