Line 70:

*Detective [[Kevin Hiatt]] ([[Alex O'Loughlin]]) is an experienced former Homeland Security Agent, who used to work the borders of [[Mexico]]. He is brought in as Vic's replacement when Vic is forced into retirement. He is also supposed to keep tabs on the strike team. Although Hiatt is the leader of the Strike Team, it seems that Vic is still more hands-on. In the final episode of season six, "Spanish Practices," Hiatt is removed from the department by Captain Wyms, presumably ending his time on the show.

*Detective [[Shane Vendrell]] ([[Walton Goggins]]) was Vic Mackey'sMackeys best friend and second in command of the Strike Team. His racist, reckless attitude and questionable decisions often got in him trouble, after which Vic typically bailed him out. He has a wife, Mara, as well as a young son, Jackson. Shane requested a transfer from the strike team after he confessed to Vic that he killed fellow Strike Team member [[Curtis Lemansky]], he later stated that he cancelled the request to transfer to his old spot in Vice due to the fact that Vic was going to be forced into retirement.

*Detective [[Ronnie Gardocki]] ([[David Rees Snell]]) is the Strike Team's surveillance and electronics expert. Though little is known about Ronnie, he has proven more and more in recent times to be the most solid, well-rounded member of the Strike Team and has remained fiercely loyal to Vic through thick and thin. The burn scars present on his face after he shaved his beard in Season 6 (given to him by Armadillo in Season 2) are proof of his loyalty to the team.

*Officer [[List of characters from The Shield#Julien Lowe|Julien Lowe]] ([[Michael Jace]]) During the formation of a new Strike Team, Claudette offered Julien to Kevin Hiatt as a possible addition to the team. Claudette made the offer to Julien, who was hesitant, mainly because of the thought of being partnered with Vic on a daily basis. After being assured that Mackey was going to be moved out of the team, Julien accepted the promotion, and is now an official member of the strikeStrike teamTeam.
