Sergeant Kevin Donlan is a precinct sergeant working for the NYPD, who occasionally works with the Manhattan Special Victims Unit.
On SVU[]
Donlan and Detective Tutuola converse with Detective Louise Campesi about the fact that one of the latest victims in a string of push-in rapes and robberies has a brother who is a police officer. Later, when Detective Rollins gets a hit on the credit card stolen from the victim, Donlan and the other officers respond. The store clerk tells them that the suspect withdrew some money after trying to get more and warns that he had a gun on his right side. He and Campesi then leave to canvass the area. When Donlan starts chasing a suspect, Campesi and Detective Robert "Doom" Dumas join the pursuit while the rest of the officers try to cut the suspect off. The three officers split up; Donlan and Campesi continue the pursuit while Dumas goes another way. When the suspect unsuccessfully attempts to get into a building, the officers pull their weapons out while confronting him. They all see the man reaching for something and open fire on him. While Dumas stops after firing three shots, Donlan and Campesi unload their magazines into him.
After the scene is secured, all three are taken to the hospital to get checked out. They are interviewed by Internal Affairs with their delegate and attorneys beside them. The three all give identical statements, which causes problems. After Campesi eventually finds out that all three are suspended without pay on the news, they go to a bar. When Rollins shows up, Campesi asks her why she is here in a hostile manner. When Dumas explains that he called her over, Donlan and Campesi leave in protest. During the grand jury trial, Donlan and Campesi testify that they followed their training and made the right calls, but Dumas struggles with his story. The grand jury eventually indicts Donlan and Campesi for manslaughter, while Dumas is charged with reckless endangerment. The three, plus the SVU officers, go to a local bar to discuss the events.
