Baldwin Jones is a fictional character in the television series NYPD Blue.
[1] He had previously worked in the police department's bias crimes unit, and transferred into the 15th Precinct to replace James Martinez.
[1] Joe Abner, a bitter African-American lieutenant, previously commanded Baldwin Jones in the Bias Incident Investigation Unit.
Abner held a grudge against Jones's boss, Lieutenant Fancy over Fancy's refusal to get rid of Andy Sipowicz for his racist attitudes, but later revealed he steered Jones to Fancy's command so he would learn from a good boss in a position (general squad work) he was more suited for than judging whether cases involved hate crimes.
[3] Jones and Assistant District Attorney Valerie Haywood had an on-again, off-again relationship, which included a pregnancy and miscarriage.
