Premise
Set in the fictional 99th Precinct of the New York City Police Department in Brooklyn, Brooklyn Nine-Nine follows a team of detectives headed by the serious and intellectual Captain Raymond Holt, who is assigned as their new commanding officer in the pilot episode. The outside of the precinct is based on the 78th Precinct in Brooklyn, as the 99th Precinct is not real.
