Robert "Bobby" Reyes Sr. is an NYPD detective with the Manhattan Organized Crime Control Bureau, replacing Victoria Cho and Carlos Maldonado.
History[]
Reyes was recommended to join the Organized Crime Control Bureau by One Police Plaza after successfully working undercover assignments with Anti-Crime for 4 Years and with Narcotics for 3 Years. He frequently goes places in disguise, including his first meeting with Organized Crime, when he appeared as an electrician, before revealing his true identity. Bell go to Kenny Kyle's house to question him but a neighbour tells them that Kenny had a seizure and is currently in hospital. They soon discover that Kenny was bitten by poisonous rats and that he could die if he didn't receive immediate care. Reyes and Bell notice that Henry Cole was also bitten by the same poisonous rats which caused him to fall out the window. They go to a club where Kenny goes looking for help with Reyes disguised as a club employee, though Kenny escapes. (OC: "Everybody Knows The Dice Are Loaded")
While the Organized Crime Control Bureau continues to search for Kenny, Reyes goes undercover at the construction site where Teddy is building his new casino, where he and Bell find a man covered in rat bites. Reyes and Bell later find Kenny with a baby. Kenny then holds Bell at gunpoint but Reyes tackled Kenny before he can hurt Bell or the baby and arrests Kenny. (OC: "Catch Me If You Can")
A case became extremely personal for Reyes when three of his former foster brothers were being investigated for committing crimes. His colleagues soon discovered that Reyes was a victim of abuse from his foster parents along with his other foster brothers. During the case, one of his foster brothers named Dante Scott was shot by the police before he could shoot them. Reyes met up with his wife Tammy at the hospital, where Tammy informed him that Dante had died from his injuries, which devastated Reyes who broke down in tears and was comforted by Tammy.

Slootmaekers becomes furious with Reyes after she finds out that he took photos of her kissing a criminal while undercover. Reyes calmly explains that he had to do it and that Bell has a job to do. Slootmaekers angrily tells Reyes that she has to prove that she isn't a threat to Bell's job. (OC: "Punch Drunk")
After Whelan is murdered in an officer involved shooting, Reyes takes his death harder than his other colleagues and mourns terribly due to their close friendship. (OC: "With Many Names")
