!!Pat Morales
[[quoteright:178:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/patmoralespq3.png]]

->'''Played by:''' Patty Lang

A cop working at Lytton PD with attitude problems who soon becomes Sonny's partner.
----
* AntiRoleModel: She is not to be followed by any policemen playing. She is rude, overly impulsive, pays more attention to instinct than procedure and turns out [[spoiler:to take drugs and be part of a cult]].
* DoesNotLikeMen: She holds a disdain for men, as she says at the beginning about being annoyed with a perv and later on [[spoiler:she calls Sonny a "male pig" before trying to shoot him.]]
* {{Foil}}: To Sonny Bonds. Sonny is a calm policeman cares about following procedure most of the time, while she is an impatient policewoman and tends to rush into decisions. Sonny's held in high regard by the police force, while her performance tends to receive complaints. [[spoiler:With the reveal that she's part of the cult, she could also be considered an EvilCounterpart to him.]]

!!Brian Forbes
[[quoteright:196:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/brianforbespq3.png]]

->'''Played by:''' Brian Brouillette

A loon hanging around Aspen Falls. He terrifies other people there and it's up to Sonny to stop him.
----
* AmbiguousDisorder: He shows schizophrenia or at least psychosis, as he only wears his underwear and bothers other people in the park by shouting that the Bathonians are coming and everyone needs to be evacuated, while believing he's the chosen one. The game only calls him "deranged" and a "lunatic" without going into specifics.
* NakedNutter: Has stripped down to his underwear and is ranting and raving about Bathonians, causing a disturbance (that turns violent if he isn't dealt with) for Sonny to deal with.
* TrouserSpace: He managed to hide a knife inside his briefs. He will kill the man who puts him in his cell if you don't search him for the weapon.

!!Orpheus Hanley
[[quoteright:190:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/orpheushanleypq3.png]]

->'''Played by:''' Himself

A speeder who really needs to get to his woman on time.
----
* NiceGuy: Unlike other traffic violators in the series, he doesn't get angry or otherwise lash out at Sonny for giving him a ticket, he just accepts it and listens to the reasoning for it.

!!Juan Jose Ruiz
->'''Played by:''' George Esparza
[[quoteright:240:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/juanruizpq3.png]]
----
* EverythingIsRacist: In court, he tries to contest his traffic violation by accusing Sonny of racism against Latinos. Thankfully, this isn't taken into account in the judge's ruling, regardless of what it is.

!!Joseph Hoss
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/josephhosspq3.png]]

->'''Played by:''' Bob Fischbach
----
* DrunkDriver: So drunk that, after being pulled over, he can't keep an eye on your finger and pukes on the street.
* SorryOciffer: He tries to play off being drunk and says that he's fine. It falls apart when he can't follow Sonny's finger and pukes on his shoes.

!!Steve Rocklin
[[quoteright:174:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stevenrocklinpq3.png]]

->'''Played by:''' Mike Pickhinke
----
* BadGuysPlayPool: He's initially seen playing pool in the Old Nugget Inn and is a member of the Sons of Darkness cult.
* BeardOfEvil: A member of the Sons of Darkness cult who will not hesitate to kill Sonny. His beard is also impressive, almost like Chuck Norris's.

!!Michael Bains

->'''Played by:''' N/A
----
* BigBad: He is Jesse Bains's successor and starts the Sons of Darkness cult which provokes Sonny into going after them and eventually doing so.
* VillainsWantMercy: Once Sonny breaks into his crack house, he gives up immediately when approached.

* TheAce: He excels at everything he does, be it Traffic, Narcotics, Homicide, or working for SWAT. In ''SWAT 2'', his stats reflect this with him being a strong JackOfAllStats who immediately meets the requirements for Element Leader training. The second game establishes that he also qualified as a diver between games.
* CharacterDevelopment: Sonny went from a well known ByTheBookCop, to a CowboyCop who still manages to do things by the book, to a SWAT officer, to a SWAT team leader, to commanding a SWAT team.
* ChickMagnet: In the first game, several women flirt with him in a not-too-subtle manner; Both Laura Watts and the unnamed female patrol officer make suggestive comments to him, Marie becomes his LoveInterest, and one traffic stop attempts to seduce him in order to get out of a ticket. [[spoiler: That last one turns out to be SchmuckBait.]]
* DyeHard: Invoked. He starts with black hair, but bleaches his hair blond for an undercover operation.
* ExperiencedProtagonist: In the first game, he's already been on the force for fifteen years.
* MidSeasonUpgrade: Sonny is issued a different sidearm for each game in which he appears; a .357 Magnum revolver in the original game, a [=10mm=] 1911 based pistol in ''2'', and a [=9mm=] Beretta in ''3''. In his appearances in the ''SWAT'' spinoffs, he uses a 1911 in ''SWAT 2'', which is also the default sidearm in ''SWAT 3''.
* PreviousPlayerCharacterCameo: He turns up in ''SWAT 2'' as a selectable officer and in ''SWAT 4'' as the player's commanding officer.
* RankUp: Becomes a Detective during the first game and is promoted to Sergeant at the beginning of the third. And given that he's stated to be training to establish a SWAT team in ''SWAT 2'', he's likely further up the ladder. ''SWAT 4'' has him as a Lieutenant in New York state, having transferred from Lytton.

* TheCameo: She appears as a hostage in ''SWAT 3'', explicitly identifying herself as Marie Bonds and asks the PlayerCharacter if they know Sonny, who is working in LA's Harbour Division by this point.
* CharacterDevelopment: Marie went from a simple-minded hooker with a heart of gold, to an honest-working middle-class woman, to a considerably more intelligent and loving wife of Officer Sonny Bonds. The remake of the first game made her much less simple.
* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: She's introduced as an old school friend of Sonny's who has an interest in him. She helps him bust Bains and gives it up, becoming his LoveInterest in the process.
* MsFanservice: As expected of a (reformed) hooker. She wears a maid outfit in the VGA remake of the first game and a bikini pic of her is displayed in Sonny's locker in the second.

Averted in the second game, where Sonny this time shoots him with the player's input with a much bigger gun.
* GenderBlenderName: He had the name "Jessie" in the first three games, which is typically used by women. Likely the reason why the VGA remake of the first game uses "Jesse".

->'''Played by:''' Brandon Massey, '''Voiced by:''' Doug Boyd
----
* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: While Sonny is a standard cop, John relies more on detective work. There's also the fact that Sonny can be impulsive and shout at others, while John almost always keeps his voice down and is more methodical.
* GoodIsNotNice: He occasionally has to make somewhat unethical actions, like pushing a reporter out of his way which results in her complaining.
* WouldHurtAChild: He can shoot and kill Valerie Hickman. Especially deplorable as she calls him "uncle".

->'''Played by:''' Leslie Wallace, '''Voiced by:''' Denise Tapscott
----
* AmbiguousDisorder: She seems like she has a learning disability of some kind leading to her stupidity. She talks about very simple things like water being usable in multiple ways and the phrase "raining cats and dogs" being just a phrase being some amazing facts, plus there's her childish voice. Other characters tend to treat her like a developmentally delayed child, as shown by how Sam tries to justify her talking to the press and accidentally revealing details about a dead body while John explains to her how bad it is.
* TheDitz: Most characters see her as dumb, with her odd thoughts about mundane things and always having to check Carey's badge confirming that.
* KindheartedSimpleton: She's friendly and sweet, but really not bright. Trying to shoot her makes the narrator mentions that "stupidity is not a crime".
* SimpletonVoice: She speaks in a high-pitched, dumb-sounding tone, fitting her lack of intelligence.
* {{Womanchild}}: She works at a morgue and seems to be in her late twenties at least, but her voice and impressed tone about rather obvious facts make her seem like she's ten at most.
