* HotMom: Technically.

A middle-aged lady who is often seen riding a 50cc motor scooter, the Scooter Lady[[hottip:*: known as "Scooter Mama" in the dub,]] is obsessed with sales and discounts and will use every means to reach her desired stores, even if it means flouting every traffic regulation in the book, much to the annoyance of the officers in the Traffic Section, who calls her "Bokutou's specialty".

The cast for ''You're Under Arrest!'' is fairly compact, comprising of a few major characters backed with recurring extras despite being a relatively long-running series. Below is a list of characters with regular appearances.

->'''Voiced by:''' SakikoTamagawa

* BigEater: So much so that when she was temporarily transferred out of Bokutou Station, the station cafeteria ended up with too much leftovers as the operators had gotten too used of her ordering extra servings!
** HyperactiveMetabolism: It's implied that her eating habits are the source of her immense strength. And in one episode when the station adapted changes that included a light eating menu, Natsumi suffered withdrawal syndromes.
* BikerBabe: Is among the best biker depicted in the series, and she often put her expert handling skills to good use in chasing traffic offenders, usually by cornering them with the help of Miyuki.

->'''Voiced by:''' AkikoHiramatsu

The other protagonist of the series, Miyuki is also a police officer stationed in the Traffic Section of Bokutou Station. Unlike her partner Natsumi, Miyuki is a calm, collected and mild-tempered person, although she is also equally passionate about her work as Natsumi. Not as strong as Natsumi, Miyuki prefers to use her intellects to solve cases. An expert in anything mechanical or electronic, she is the one who drives and maintains the patrol car which the duo uses. Coupled with her excellent planning skills, she forms a great partnership with Natsumi.

Miyuki is the first major character in the series to have a definite LoveInterest, with her fellow colleague Ken Nakajima, although any romantic progress between the two of them is very slow due to their shy personalities.

* ImprobableAimingSkills: During times when she needs to display force, she will tend to make use of her vast collection of airsoft guns, of which she is excellent in handling with (such as shooting at a moving vehicle while she is driving).

* MadeOfIron: Between herself, Natsumi and Nakajima, Miyuki is the only one who ''never'' suffers any kind of broken bone or similar injury on the job. Even after her and another car fall off a cliff, she splints the other driver's broken leg before leaving to search for help. Other than that, the worst thing she ever faces is a sprained wrist.

* WrenchWench: Is one of the best mechanic in the series, and is responsible for the maintenance and customisation of not only the mini-patrol car which she and Natsumi uses, but also Natsumi's Motocompo. Her abilities also extend to electronic devices and can often be seen tinkering on various gadgets in her free time.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Usually it appears more black with a bluish tint though.

She quickly detected the relationship between Ken and Miyuki and will often attempt to further their relationship.

A police officer who is transferred to Bokutou Station during the start of the 1st season of the anime adaptation, Aoi is depicted as a male officer who had crossdressed as part of an undercover operation and ended up "going native", although as the series progresses, it is heavily implied that she is transgender and not simply a crossdresser.

An extremely feminine person, Aoi also excels in many traditionally feminine skills, such as flower-arrangement and cooking, which led Natsumi and Yoriko to comment that she is more feminine than them.
