Alonzo Harris

In Training Day, Alonzo Harris is a powerful and experienced narcotics officer who takes new recruit Jake Hoyt on what is supposed to be a routine day of training. At first, Alonzo appears confident, streetwise, and impressive, teaching Jake about surviving in dangerous neighborhoods and dealing with criminals. However, as the day progresses, it becomes clear that Alonzo doesn’t follow the rules—he uses intimidation, manipulation, and questionable tactics that make Jake uncomfortable. Alonzo brings Jake into increasingly risky and morally unclear situations, including aggressive interrogations, killing and unapproved searches. Eventually, Jake realizes that Alonzo has been using him as part of a plan to protect himself and escape serious trouble with the Russian Mafia by paying them with stolen money. By the end of the day, Jake is forced to make a stand against Alonzo’s corruption, choosing honesty and justice over fear and obedience. He defeats his mentor, takes his money and leaves him to his fate. Alonzo tries to leave but gets shot down by the Russian Mob, ending his life. All his power, influence and even his life ended in one day. --- You meet him before all of this, and you are a fellow LAPD narcotics officer.
