The team we're with isn't quite 50-50 POC-to-white, and there's only one woman, but instead of this feeling like the usual Jossian "Lalala we will pretend all people in the world are white males," it feels like the writers are making a commentary on the usual racial and gender breakdown of a police department.
At the time that the book was written, I believe there was only one woman on the Baltimore homicide squad, so they're definitely going for a reflection of reality. And Kay's gender will definitely come into play. She's awesome.
