* [[Fair Cop]]: She's Maria freakin' Bello.

** Also somewhat [[Averted]]. She doesn't show much more cleavage at work than the buttoned down shirt seen above, and her wrinkles are not hidden, particularly on her neck (except of course by her [[Scarf of Asskicking]]). She's still Maria freakin' Bello, just not photoshopped into a standard [[Fair Cop]] like other cop shows [[CSI|*coughCSIcough*]].

* [[Freeze Frame Bonus]]: All over the place, and the main form of world-building for the homicide squad.

* [[Karma Houdini]]: In the second episode, Duffy doesn't suffer any (on screen) consequences for {{spoiler|ruining the life of the innocent ex-child molester, to the point that the man ''killed himself'' even after he was cleared}} and when confronted about it, says that he still considers the outcome favorable. See [[Jerkass]], above.

* [[Ladette]]: Jane, though unlike the usual uses of this trope, at least at the start of the series she is ''not'' [[One of the Boys]] and has to work to earn the respect of the other (male) detectives, and as the series progresses they seem to be warming up to her.

* [[Married to The Job]]: Completely averted. Many of the detectives seem to be fairly happily married, and at least Calderon and Keating have children. Jane herself is happily living with her boyfriend, Matt, and is even willing to endure the company of his [[Psycho Ex-Girlfriend|ex-wife]] so he can spend time with his son.

* [[Magical Database]]: Averted. The police have the killer's semen, so they can get a DNA test. Instead of it taking a day, however, it takes considerably longer and so is almost of no use.

* [[My Beloved Smother]]: Her boyfriend's ex-wife spends almost all of her screentime in the first two episodes fussing about whether their son will be safe at Jane's house, which leads to a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] in the second episode where Jane puts her in her place by reminding her of the various things she and her new husband have done wrong, having looked at their records.
