Sonny Carisi on the Law & Order Wiki 

Skip to Content Skip to Wiki Navigation Skip to Site Navigation

Detective Dominick "Sonny" Carisi, Jr. transfers to Manhattan Special Victims Unit after Sergeant Olivia Benson put in a request for an "experienced, empathetic Detective".

He was in Staten Island SVU for two months, Brooklyn for almost a month and Queens for a week (before that, he was a patrol officer on Staten Island). Though his brash and argumentative attitude has placed him at odds with Benson and the others, he\'s shown a knack for interrogations, by pretending to empathize with suspects and getting them to open up to him.

He attends night classes at Fordham Law, often attempting to offer up legal suggestions on the cases at hand.

The only other person from season 1 that he has met is Cragen.
