Biography
Not much is known of Sammy's early childhood other then the fact that as a youth he was a big time stoner. It was through his recreational activity that he met his future wife Tammi Bryant. Sometime later Sammy cleaned up his act and graduated high school and college, gradually applying and becoming a police officer with the LAPD. It turns out his buddies dared him to join up while he was still using.
Career in the LAPD
Sammy rose through the ranks in the LAPD making it all the way to Detective II and was assigned in the department's notorious CRASH Units (Community Resources Against Street Hoodlums). Where his sergeant was his future precinct captain Joel Rucker. Either before or after its disbandment, Sammy left CRASH and was assigned to the LAPD's Gang and Narcotics Division. It was there that Bryant met his future partner and long time friend Nate Moretta.
After Nate's death in season 3, Sammy decides to leave the Gang and Narcotics Division and become a training officer for the Hollywood Division. As a training officer, Sammy is thus partnered up with the recently probationary graduate Ben Sherman.
