Description
Peralta is a cop that has never had to work that hard or follow the rules too closely. Perhaps
because he has the best arrest record among his colleagues, he's been enabled - if not indulged
- throughout his entire career. That is, until the precinct gets a new commanding officer, Captain
Raymond Holt, who reminds this hotshot cop to respect the badge.
Physical Appearance
Jake is an Ashkenazi-Sephardic Jewish male with dark brown hair and brown eyes.
He is often seen wearing a button-down plaid shirt, a hoodie, jeans and at times, a stylish, black
leather jacket. At Captain Holt's request, Jake has taken to sometimes wearing a tie. He used to
wear a watch on his left wrist in the earlier episodes, his police badge on a chain around his neck
and starting from the Season 5 Finale a wedding ring on his left finger.
Personality
Jake is a very competent detective with an incredibly immature, yet charming personality. He
often butts heads with authority and teases his partner, and later wife, Amy Santiago. He has
trouble expressing his emotions, preferring to crack jokes, but always shares his feeling
eventually. He is extremely intelligent and calculating, but his intelligence is more focused on
humour than his work.
