Niecy Nash will co-star in Fox’s female buddy cop comedy pilot “The Enforcers.” She will play one half of the central duo, two wildly different single mothers with dreams of being police officers who find themselves partnered as inspectors in the Code Enforcement Department, where instead of fighting crime, they have been relegated to handling petty code breaking like noise complaints, tree trimming and water misuse.
Nash’s character is described as a fun, outspoken, recently divorced single mom of two kids who, after struggling through a variety of odd jobs to provide for her children, is thrilled to land the job of code cop, hoping it will bring her a sense of legitimacy — but it doesn’t.
The casting marks a continuation at Fox for Nash, who also starred as an enforcement type — a security guard — on the network’s “Scream Queens.”
