The week after her graduation from the academy in 2013, she was partnered with Jameson Reagan in the 12th Precinct.

After being married, she tried hyphenating her name before deciding to be Officer Janko at work and Mrs. Reagan at home.
Biography[]
Admittedly a sheltered and happy child, Eddie is of mixed Hungarian and Serbian descent, and speaks Serbian fluently due to her mother. Growing up, her father’s occupation as a financial advisor meant her family was affluent. An example of their affluent status was Eddie's high school graduation present, a Porsche. When it was revealed the company her father worked for was a Ponzi scheme, crippling numerous people financially, Eddie became angry at her father and ceased contact with him for several years after his conviction. While her father was being held at Fort Dix Federal Penitentiary, he was attacked by corrupt correctional officers and beaten to a point where he was transported to a hospital. Once her father agreed to testify against them, Eddie was willing to try to repair her relationship with her father.
In 2013, Eddie goes on a date which ends badly. After obtaining drinks with a guy from her yoga class, he walks her home. When they arrive at her apartment he wants to enter it, and she does not give him consent. He proceeds to push her inside of the apartment and slams her into a lamp. The next day Jamie visits her apartment and asks Eddie to open the door, because he feels something isn't right. When Eddie opens the door Jamie asks what happened. Eddie responds to him by lying she had a car accident. Jamie doesn't believe her. The following day, Jamie obtains the guy's phone number from Eddie's phone and writes it down. When he looks up the criminal record of the guy, he discovers the guy has been charged with first degree rape.[3]
Career[]
Eddie's career in the NYPD started dramatically with the death of a fellow officer, Vincent Cruz. Shortly after, she was in an extremely stressful situation when a suspect she chased attempted to strike her with a pipe. During her recitation of the resulting arrest, she was shown to have a critical fact wrong, although she refused to change her testimony, believing her testimony to be correct. While she was not fully correct, she kept her job when the investigation concluded the adrenaline and stress from the situation affected her memory of the incident, tricking her mind into believing her version of the story.
At one point she was temporarily assigned to a different police officer. This was for Jamie to ride with Officer Kara Walsh. Eddie believed Officer Walsh betrayed her previous partner, Officer Randy Cutter. When Eddie discovered Jamie's plan to ride with Officer Walsh, she was infuriated at Jamie. Later, after Officer Walsh was shot while saving Eddie, Eddie changed her perspective of Officer Walsh. Eddie viewed her as a good officer who was in a bad situation.
In Loose Lips, Eddie is partnered with Jamie again. They faced a new threat when Jamie was attacked by a murder victim’s jealous ex-boyfriend. When the ex-boyfriend and Eddie came face to face in the precinct, Eddie lost her cool. Her comments towards him made her the target of an abduction, although she was rescued due to the combined efforts of Detective Reagan, Officer Reagan and Detective Baez.
In Power Players, a civilian patrolman's interference in a situation results in her killing a cornered suspect. Though not her first shooting as an officer, the loss of life at her hands affects Eddie, causing her to lose her temper. Eddie blames Andy Fisher, the civilian patrolman for the death of the suspect. Eddie ends up going home sick when the situation overwhelms her. Jamie visits her, giving her the support and comfort she needed.
In Occupational Hazards, Eddie tries to help an elderly woman remember details about a potential bomber before he can strike.
In Bad Company, due to her age and fluency in Serbian, Detective Reagan and Detective Baez ask Eddie to help them with a case involving missing Serbian girls by going undercover. Although Jamie is not happy with her decision to accept the assignment, he ends up giving her the best advice because of his own experience undercover.
In All the News That's Fit to Click, a reporter riding along with Eddie and Jamie is shot and withholds information about the shooter from them. Eddie and Jamie approach the reporter off-duty, attempting to obtain the full story of the incident to no avail. Eddie and Jamie are left frustrated when the reporter is more interested in their story than finding the shooter.
In With Friends Like These, Eddie and Jamie discover not all victims are easily helped. They discover this when a mentally unstable woman, Jenny Strong ends up on their radar and their efforts to additionally help her are largely fruitless.
In Rush to Judgment, Jamie is accused of police brutality during a demonstration. Eddie is unable to provide testimony which will exonerate Jamie while remaining truthful. Jamie accuses Eddie of stressing their relationship. Eddie and Jamie later forgive each other.
In The Bullitt Mustang, Jamie almost starts a war between the NYPD and the DANY when Eddie is charged with misconduct over making a few parking tickets disappear for an elderly neighbor.
In one episode, Eddie becomes overly excited by the prospect of doing detective work and ignores a 10-13 call. Jamie snaps at her, feeling she is damaging their trust.
After Jamie was promoted to sergeant, Eddie followed him to the 29th Precinct. Though she did not intend to follow him at first. She transferred to the 29th Precinct seeking to find her identity. In the 29th Precinctshe was assigned to Maya Thomas. While at the 29th Precinct, she attempted to conceal her engagement between Jamie as best as she could. Typically one half of a dating or married couple would be reassigned to a new precinct, however Eddie and Jamie found a loophole in the NYPD Patrol Guide. The NYPD Patrol Guide did not specifically state dating or married couples have to be assigned to separate precincts.

Relationships[]
Eddie and Jamie have always shown signs of attraction to one another. Initially they did not pursue a relationship outside of work, even after a night of drinking resulted in a kiss between them both. Regardless of their effort to keep a strict working relationship, many of their fellow officers and Jamie'sfamily thought they were sleeping together. Eddie and Jamie were questioned on the nature of their relationship several times.
From season four to season eight, Eddie dated frequently. Early in her partnership with Jamie, Eddie ended up on a date with a man who sexually assaulted her. Unwilling to be seen as a victim in her own precinct, she refused to report it. Later she decided to report the incident after Jamie encouraged her to do so. After reporting the incident, she expressed gratitude towards Jamie for encouraging her to do so.
In season seven eight, Eddie visits Jamie's apartment and confesses she is jealous and has feelings for him. He admits he has feelings for her too. Although they agreed feelings may damage a partnership between two officers, and neither of them wanted their working relationship to be damaged.
After a near-fatal shootout, Eddie and Jamie decide to become engaged after Jamie is nearly assassinated. After becoming engaged, they had to convince everyone they could work together, which doesn't turn out well for them as hoped. However, a loophole in the NYPD Patrol Guide allows them to remain at the same precinct, just not as partners.

Personality[]
Feisty, independent and difficult to offend, Eddie is passionate about what she believes and far more hot-tempered than Jamie. On the job, she usually sees things in an ‘Us vs. Them’ way, but is open to hearing Jamie’s more neutral assessment, even if she disagrees with it. Her massive appetite is the source of much ribbing from Jamie, especially due to her love of fried food and all-you-can-eat nights.
