Olinsky and Voight’s loyalty to each other was unmatched.

Chicago Police has featured several surprising relationships on screen, but Alvin Olinsky and Voight had the best relationship on the show. Olinsky’s loyalty went so far as to take the fall for the murder of Voight’s son’s killer. When Voight carried out his revenge, it seemed like he would get away with it, but due to a complication in the case, Olinsky instead became a suspect. He was so confident in taking the fall for his friend’s crime that he even told Voight, “I understand,” in a depressing final sentence.


Unfortunately, Olinsky did not make it out alive, despite Voight’s attempts to free him as soon as possible. This led to Olinsky’s death, which became one of, if not Chicago Policethe most shocking deaths. Somehow, Olinsky’s death also began the show’s decline.. After his passing, the best relationship on the show ended and was never repeated. Voight was never the same, especially since his friend’s family blamed him for the loss.
