Gritty criminal drama "The Shield" delves into the intricate world of Los Angeles law enforcement. The Strike Team, a specialised division of the LAPD tasked with combating gang activity and violent crime in the city's most challenging districts, is the subject of the television series, which follows its members. Detective Vic Mackey is the team's leader; he is a tough, shrewd officer who is not afraid to break the law to accomplish his goals. As the series goes on, we observe the toll that this type of labour has on the Strike Team members as they strive to strike a balance between their allegiance to one another and their own sense of right and wrong. Particularly Mackey is an intriguing character study since he constantly vacillates between hero and villain while trying to defend his own dubious deeds. Strong language, graphic violence, and mature topics make "The Shield" not suitable for anyone who are easily offended. But for viewers who can stomach its unvarnished and honest picture of the shadowy underbelly of law enforcement, it is a truly gripping and unforgettable series.

The Strike Team was based on the Los Angeles Police Department Rampart Division's corrupt anti-gang unit, known as Community Resources Against Street Hoodlums (CRASH). More than 70 officers associated with CRASH were implicated in misconduct. Their crimes included unprovoked shootings, unprovoked beatings, planting of false evidence, stealing and dealing narcotics, bank robbery, perjury, and the covering up of evidence of these activities. There was also a connection with Death Row Records ( which was affiliated with the Bloods street gang), with several officers serving as off-duty security in exchange for extremely generous pay. It was alleged that a number of these officers were involved and perhaps responsible for the murder of rapper Notorious B.I.GIt was determined that 90% of the members of CRASH were either directly involved in misconduct or were fully aware of it.
Creator Shawn Ryan's original title of the show was "The Barn." The FX network feared that potential audiences might be turned away by that, because they might think it was a gardening show or something similar. "Rampart" was also considered, after the controversial corruption charges against the Rampart division of the Los Angeles Police Department. This title was used in early promotional materials, including several TV spots. Upon opposition from the LAPD, as well as the fact that people not familiar with the Rampart scandal might not understand the name, the title was changed at the last minute to "The Shield."
In 2017, Michael Jace, who played Jullian, was sentenced to 40 years to life in prison for murdering his wife.
When the show started airing, creator Shawn Ryan would notice that people were divisive regarding whether they like Vic Mackey or not and some wanted him to get caught. When Lt. Jon Kavanaugh was introduced into the storyline as a serious possibility for Mackey to go down, Ryan was surprised to learn that almost everyone rooted for Mackey and hated Kavanaugh.
Shawn Ryan originally wrote Claudette's character as a man. It took a call from CCH Pounder's agent to make him appreciate that a woman in the detective role would offer a whole new slant to proceedings. One thing that Ryan didn't change was the dialog, meaning that Claudette pulls no punches with her fellow detectives and the criminals she encounters. This was at Pounder's request.
"Vic Mackey: Good cop and bad cop have left for the day. I'm a different kind of cop."
"Vic Mackey: Well maybe in your own mind, amigo. But in the real world, I don't answer to you. Not today, not tomorrow, not even on Cinco de Mayo."
