The department gets new energy and perspective from Cassidy, the deputy. Amidst the chaos, Weaver's Cassidy is intense and sincere, showing her determination to do her job well.

She supports Mickey professionally and emotionally with her grounded presence.

Weaver played a Black Hollywood woman navigating a relationship in Love Is on the Oprah Winfrey Network. In NBC's Council of Dads, she played a major role in a family's recovery from tragedy. Cooper Barrett's Guide to Surviving Life and Switched at Birth also featured Weaver.

She brings her emotional and dramatic skills to Cassidy, as she did in Love Is. In Sheriff Country, Weaver's strength and vulnerability make her unique.
