Why Fans Think Kim Burgess Is Leaving Intelligence

Fans who saw Chicago P.D. Season 12 Episode 6, “Pawns,” are wondering if Marina Squerciati’s Kim Burgess, who got promoted to detective, is leaving Intelligence. This was after Detective Suarez, who supervised Burgess during a ride-along test, recommended the possibility.

So, is Kim Burgess leaving Intelligence in Chicago P.D.? Here are all the details.

Is Kim Burgess leaving Intelligence in Chicago PD Season 12?

No, Kim Burgess is not leaving Intelligence in Chicago PD Season 12.

However, for a brief period, it seemed as if she was going to leave Intelligence. After taking a ride-along test as an acting detective with Suarez as her supervisor. Suarez told Burgess she would assign her back to intelligence because of a favor and because she was too good for other units.

This annoyed Burgess, who claimed she did not want favors and demanded a more honest answer from Suarez. Suarez relented, replying that she was a good cop with the instincts of a patrol officer protected by a sergeant.

Suarez then mentioned her honest opinion of assigning Burgess to another unit for some time to make her a better detective and let her grow in her career, opening the impossibility of career growth in Intelligence. Burgess accepted this as she desired to be a good detective, despite being at home with Intelligence, where she could work more closely with her fiance, Adam Ruzek, and maintain the same schedule as him to ease their personal lives.

However, before Burgess could do anything else, Deputy Chief Reid made the final decision to keep Kim Burgess in Intelligence. Kim protested, saying she did not want favors, but Reid did not listen. Kim confronted Sergeant Voight about this, assuming he had asked for Kim to be put back in Intelligence. However, Voight denied doing it while also stating that favors were not free.
