  • Lieutenant Anita Van Buren was the head of the 27th Precinct detective squad for almost 20 years. She replaced Captain Donald Cragen as head of the precinct in 1993. (L&O: "Sweeps") During her lengthy tenure as squad leader of the two-seven, she commanded various detectives; including Lennie Briscoe, Mike Logan, Tony Profaci, Rey Curtis, Ed Green, Nina Cassady, Cyrus Lupo and Kevin Bernard. In 1994, during an attempted robbery on her while at an ATM, Van Buren shot one of her robbers in the arm, but the bullet passed through and killed the other robber, a mentally disabled kid who was unarmed. Van Buren was ultimately cleared of any wrongdoing in the shooting as she didn't intentionally kill the young man, but it continued to haunt her. She also helped to put away the other robber for the young man's death with the help of the mother of the kid she killed. (L&O: "Competence") In 1997, she sued the NYPD after a white woman with less experience was promoted over her (L&O: "Ritual"). Her lawsuit, which resulted in an increased workload upon her precinct in retaliation, was unsuccessful. (L&O: "Bad Girl"; "Monster") In 2001, Van Buren discovered that a case she solved 12 years earlier had been tainted by a less-than-accurate fingerprint match given to her by her friend in the forensics department, Lisa Russo. As a result, two innocent suspects were imprisoned and one of them died before they could be exonerated. In the end, Russo went to jail for her misconduct. Though Briscoe assured Van Buren that she was not at fault for what happened, she still felt very much guilty as her involvement in the original case was what got her promoted. (L&O: "Myth of Fingerprints") In 2002, she assisted A.D.A. Ron Carver in setting up a sting operation to arrest another former acquaintance Terry Randolph for murder. (CI: "Badge") In 2010, Van Buren spoke of and was seen getting treatment for cervical cancer, which by the end she appeared to have been cured of (L&O: "Rubber Room"). She presumably retired sometime afterward; as by 2013, Toni Howard was head of the two-seven. (SVU: "Poisoned Motive")
