She is Latina Chris was a member of the K-9 Platoon before joining S.W.A.T. She and Hondo did training experience with the SEALs over in Coronado. Her canine was named "Champ" and was trained in German. She donated bone marrow to her cousin, Tomas, when Tomas was 12. She loves boxing, believing it to be therapeutic. When the team is not out on a call or working a case, she can usually be found in the ring at HQ, hitting the mitts, or hitting the heavy bag. She loves cheese puffs. She is the godmother to Deacon's daughter, Victoria Josie Kay.

Chris pushes herself to near-perfection on her S.W.A.T. skills to earn respect among her male teammates. She is very aware of the fact that she is one of the very few female members and is committed to motivate other women to join the LAPD. She can't stand when her teammates act protective of her and makes sure that everyone knows that she can take care of herself. Being bisexual, Chris feels very strongly about the rights of and discrimination against queer people and stands up for her opinion.

Behind her tough, dedicated, ambitious, and sometimes hard traits, Chris is very loyal and caring. She loves her friends deeply and can't bear to watch one of them hurting. She is empathic and sensitive to other people's feelings. Whenever someone on the team seems to have issues or worries, Chris checks up on them. When she sees it necessary, Chris goes the extra mile to protect her loved ones, even without their consent. For example, this gets visible when she goes to the hospital in Season 4 to talk to Street's mother, confronting her with her manipulative behavior towards Street. Chris is very kind and compassionate, which is why Hondo usually asks her to take care of frightened victims and/or their relatives.

When it comes to grieving, Chris tends towards self-destructive behavior. After her roommate's Erika's death, for a short time she drowns her pain in alcohol and casual sex with strangers she's met at the bar, until her teammates, especially Luca, Tan, and Street, help her to cope. Her usual way to let off steam is boxing. She tends to be afraid of her feelings and closes up instead. This is visible in her relationship with Street.

Christina "Chris" Alonso was the first female officer to join the Special Weapons And Tactics (S.W.A.T.) Team of the Los Angeles Police Department (L.A.P.D.).Before joining the Special Weapons And Tactics (S.W.A.T.) Team, she was a member of the K-9 Platoon. She appeared on five consecutive seasons as a main character with a heavy set storyline.

Chris, like the rest of the team, is introduced in the Pilot episode of the series. She grew up with an alcoholic mother, who would often cause her grief. When Chris was 13 years old, her mother got drunk and died in a car crash. Shortly thereafter, she was kidnapped and brutally assaulted by a gang in her neighborhood. These incidents made Chris into the officer she is, someone who has a strong head on her shoulders, yet not afraid to stand up for what is right.

Before joining S.W.A.T., Chris works with the "K-9" Platoon with her dog partner, "Champ". Later, she is the first woman to be accepted into the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) Metro Special Weapons and Tactics (S.W.A.T.) division and has been known to let her actions prove her worth, rather than use words to argue about whether or not she can keep up with the men around her.

She is the only 20-David squad member to regularly carry a Heckler & Koch MP5 instead of a HK416 or a SIG MPX, albeit modified with a Red Dot sight and rail, laser aiming module and other accessories. The sliding stock is often seen fully retracted with the possible theory to make the submachine gun even shorter in close quarters combat with cheek-welding the butt of the stock.
