Alexandra "Alex" Eames is a fictional character within the Law & Order universe portrayed by Kathryn Erbe. Eames first appears on Law & Order: Criminal Intent as a detective partnered with Robert Goren (Vincent D'Onofrio). Following the end of the series in 2011, Erbe reprised her role in two episodes of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, with her character promoted to lieutenant and now working in the joint City/Federal Homeland Security Task Force.
Erbe received a 2008 Satellite Award Nomination for Best Actress: Television Drama Series for her portrayal.
Eames entered the police academy in 1993. Eames' role model, Senator Maureen Pagolis, spoke at her graduation from the academy. Before joining Major Case, Eames was with Vice for five years. For two years of that time, she was stationed in Chelsea. Her badge number is 5798. On one occasion, when she is shown in uniform, she is wearing the American flag, and citation bars for years of service, Excellent Police Duty, Meritorious Police Duty and pistol proficiency. On another, she has a button with the World Trade Center's likeness and a unit citation bar, with the flag and the duty bars.
In Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Eames is a police detective with Manhattan's Major Case Squad (MCS). While stationed in MCS, Eames is partnered with Detective Robert Goren, and is the senior partner of the two.
In the season six premiere, Eames is kidnapped and tortured by Jo Gage (Martha Plimpton), the daughter of Dr. Declan Gage (John Glover), Goren's mentor. She rescues herself. She returns to duty, but starts seeing a therapist to cope with the trauma of her ordeal.
