The tenth season of NYPD Blue premiered on ABC on September 24, 2002, and concluded on May 20, 2003.

Note Clark, Sipowicz, Medavoy, and Jones arrive at a DOA and find Laughlin back on the job, entirely ungrateful that they lobbied to have him returned to duty.

Note Julian Pisano, the half-helpful, half-worthless snitch from Season 9, is shot and wounded during what he claims was a carjacking, though Andy and Clark Jr. don't really buy his story.

Andy reaches out to Diane Russell, working now in SVU, to try to get Frank's sister Adrian to open up about her relationship with her father, pointing out that if Michelle is adopted, the same thing will likely happen to her.

When a mild young woman is found dead, her friends and family are unconcerned though her brother-in-law was using her apartment for affairs and her boyfriend is deep in debt to loan sharks.
