Rollins with Declan Murphy when undercover

He was assigned as the commanding officer of the Special Victims Unit and he gave Sergeant Benson a 24-hour security detail. However she gives them the slip but they manage to track her down, but not before William Lewis shot himself. (SVU: "Beast's Obsession")

He didn't believe that "the sky was falling" with the grand jury trial. He also stood up for Benson in the trial after learning that she had started writing her retirement papers to keep her pension and to save her shield. Since he was still in charge, he asked her to stay and serve as his number two. (SVU: "Post-Mortem Blues")

Murphy later left the squad when an undercover operation required his participation, leaving Benson in command of the Special Victims Unit. (SVU: "Spring Awakening")

Murphy later returned, revealing that his undercover assignment was to infiltrate a sex trafficking ring. He spent the last several months working his way up the chain. After Benson and her team took down his immediate targets, Murphy declined to come in from the cold and return to command of SVU, instead opting to remain undercover as the new head of one of the largest sex trafficking rings on the East Coast. (SVU: "Undercover Mother")

It is revealed that Declan is the father of Amanda's baby. (SVU: "Community Policing")
