"When we got back to the (writers) room, we started looking at the fact that we're a cop show and in what ways have we contributed or not addressed the systemic issues of the police department. And we decided we wanted to speak to it," executive producer Ildy Modrovich tells ET. "So we're actually doing a story that speaks directly to it, and we're super excited about it." Modrovich, who will be writing the episode, the season's sixth, admitted that "I feel nervous about it because I want to get it right." Fellow executive producer Joe Henderson added: "What we did want to do was speak to the cultural reckoning we're all going through and, I think, we'll be continuing to go through, and our place in it and our responsibility to say something."
