Sidney "Sid" Gormley is a lieutenant in the New York City Police Department. He serves as the special assistant to the commissioner. As such, he serves as an advisor to Commissioner Francis Xavier Reagan and as the de facto chief of department. Gormley assists Commissioner Reagan in communicating to the rank-and-file, and serves as Commissioner Reagan's enforcer of the Patrol Guide. Gormley serves alongside Deputy Commissioner of Public Information Garrett Moore and Detective Abigail Baker as part of Commissioner Reagan's inner advisory circle.
Biography[]
Gormley was a detective sergeant and the supervisor of the 54th Precinct's Detective Bureau. As the supervisor of the 54th Precinct Detective Bureau, he was Detective Daniel Reagan's immediate boss. He was frequently exasperated by his subordinate.
Gormley lives in New Hyde Park with his wife, Sheila Gormley, his son, Brendan Gormley, and daughter. According to the certificate in his office, he is a graduate of New York University. Gormley is a veteran, and he lost a grandfather and two uncles in the service.[1]
In 2015, Gormley was reassigned by Commissioner Reagan to One Police Plaza. He was appointed as the de facto Chief of Department after Dino Arbogast resigned. However, due to Gormley only being a sergeant and not being at least a captain or higher to be appointed chief of department, he is given the title "special assistant to the commissioner," giving him the authority of the chief of department, minus the pay grade and privileges. In this capacity, Gormley acts as Commissioner Reagan's liaison to the rank and file. Gormley was later promoted to lieutenant.

Gormley is a tough, hard-headed, by-the-book cop and dedicated to his job. As with many officers, Gormley is a "set in his way" or old-school cop, not only favoring the NYPD in its pervious state than its current state, but having a better understanding of how the job was performed 'differently back in the day."
Relationships[]
Gormley is married and loves his wife Sheila. They have one son, Brendan and an unnamed daughter.[2]
Partner(s)[]
- Daniel Reagan - Briefly when Danny's partner, Candice McElroy, left, then-Sergeant Gormley working briefly alongside Danny to keep him in check. And again, during when current partner Maria Baez was testifying in court, Gormley worked with Danny.
- Louis Weems - Gormley worked with Louis Weems sometime back when he was a beat cop. Later in the series, Weems passed away. Gormley never had a chance to say goodbye and Weems never had a deathbed, never got a confession, funeral or memorial.
- Garrett Moore, Abigail Baker, and Francis Xavier Reagan - Gormley works with Garrett and Frank constantly on cases that involve officer shootings, misconducts, racial profiling, etc. While Frank is the police commissioner he lets Garrett give his opinion and then lets Gormley give his opinion. From 2017 onward, Baker also comes into the office and sits down with Garrett, Gormley and Frank occasionally giving her opinion on the situation.
