Greevey was a homicide detective working in Manhattan's 27th Precinct. He began his career in the 1960s as Don Cragen's partner. Later in his career, he was promoted to sergeant and partnered with Mike Logan, with Cragen as their captain. Greevey was very close to Logan (even while having authority over him), providing his young partner with advice and someone to confide in.

Greevey was happily married with three children. His life as a devoted family man, as well as his conservative Catholic faith, often led him to look down upon people, even murder victims, whose lifestyles he disapproved of.

In 1991, Greevey was murdered in his home, right in front of his family, by a criminal he was investigating. Logan, desperate with grief, cornered and nearly killed Greevey's murderer, relenting only at the last minute. He was nearly fired for this transgression, but gradually came to accept his partner's death with the help of police psychiatrist Dr. Elizabeth Olivet.
