Officer Andrade is the police officer who releases Malcolm and Tagoe from jail. He chooses to let the boys go because of his experience surrounding the death of his partner, fellow police officer Graham. He believes the boys should be able to go home, grieve, and spend time with Rufus if possible—he’s far more interested in shutting down apps that encourages Deckers to kill themselves in horrifying ways than he is in babysitting justifiably upset teens.

Quotes
Graham is always on Andrade’s mind, and today is no exception, with these foster kids in the holding cell who are acting out because their brother is a Decker. You don’t need matching DNA for someone to be your brother, Andrade knows this. And you definitely don’t need the same blood to lose a part of yourself when someone dies.

Andrade is doing his damn best to get that snuff channel terminated by the end of the year. No way in hell he can share a beer with Graham in heaven without getting this job done.

And grieve.
