After shooting each scene a few times verbatim, the actors then shot a few more when they improvise to make the scene funnier if possible. This method is also used on Parks and recreation, co-created by Brooklyn Nine-Nine co-creator Michael Schur.

The police station used in scene transitions is located on the corner of 6th and Bergen. It's a real police station in Brooklyn for the 78th Precinct.

The pitch for the show to TV executives centered around creating police-precinct characters reminiscent of those in The Office (2005) or Parks and Recreation (2009). As a result, creators Michael Schur and Daniel J. Goor set off a bidding war in 2012, and quickly sold the idea to Fox before a script was ever written.Andy Samberg was not part of the proposed series until he suddenly became available after leaving Saturday Night Live (1975) after seven seasons.

Captain Holt pays particular attention to procedure and yet the holster he wears is incredibly unsafe. It features a thumb-break retention strap that can interfere with drawing his revolver during a confrontation. It also leaves the trigger-guard of his revolver uncovered, increasing the likelihood of a negligent discharge while drawing or holstering, and making it possible for someone trying to take his revolver to fire it in the holster.
