Premise

Cornelius Fillmore (voiced by Orlando Brown) is a reformed juvenile delinquent turned safety patrol officer and the show is based around him and his partner Ingrid Third (voiced by Tara Strong) at X Middle School. The show's format parodies that of hard-boiled police dramas. X's safety patrol is much more actively involved in student behavior than a typical school's safety patrol. As part of the Safety Patrol at X Middle School, Fillmore and Third solve crimes. The series usually presents child-friendly versions of common crimes, such as stolen scooters instead of cars, smuggling tartar sauce instead of drug smuggling, and holding illegal frog races instead of illegal street races.

Characters

Cornelius Fillmore

Voiced by Orlando Brown, is in the seventh grade at X Middle School, where he is a member of the Safety Patrol. Fillmore was a juvenile delinquent, his crimes included (according to his permanent record) "milk counterfeiting" and "backtalkery". Fillmore's life changed when Safety Patrol member Wayne Liggit gave him a choice: Spend the rest of middle school in detention or help him solve another case. Fillmore was recruited into the Safety Patrol as a result of his helping out. It's revealed he's an only child, has a pet dog, and a pet fish and is really good at mini golf.

Ingrid Third

Voiced by Tara Strong, is Fillmore's second partner in the Safety Patrol. Before she arrives at X Middle school it was revealed she was sent to areform school in Nepal for an incident involving a stinkbomb and a piñata. Third, another former delinquent and a certified genius (She becomes the smartest kid in X middle school) due to her photographic memory, arrives at X Middle School and partners with Fillmore after he helped her clear her name in "Ingrid Third, Public Enemy #1". Her father is a professor and she has an older sister. Her mother is seen but never mentioned. It is revealed in "The Unseen Reflection" that she took Little League for 2 years x

Horatio Vallejo

Voiced by Horatio Sanz, is the junior commissioner of the Safety Patrol and Fillmore's immediate superior. Vallejo has had some rough experiences in the Safety Patrol as an officer, such as losing his friend Malika when she joined the Red Robins, and unintentionally betraying his partner and best friend, Frank Bishop, a profiler, after a case went wrong. Vallejo has problems with drinking too much cocoa. Vallejo's first name is also a pun on his voice actor.

Karen Tehama

Voiced by Lauren Tom, is the crime scene investigator on the Safety Patrol who has a keen interest in forensics. Although she appears in almost every episode, she is more of a background character.

Joseph Anza

Voiced by Danny Tamberelli, partnered with Karen Tehama and known for his bodyguarding training. Although he appears in almost every episode, he (like Tehama) is more of a background character.

Danny O'Farrell

Voiced by Kyle Sullivan, is the crime scene photographer for the Safety Patrol. He has a tendency to get on other people's nerves and has some weird thoughts and ideas such as trying to photograph his own buttock. O'Farrell serves as the primary source of comic relief on the show. He is also able to develop film with common household items as seen in "Masterstroke of Malevolance."

Dawn S. Folsom

Voiced by Wendie Malick, the principal of X Middle School. In context of the show's police drama parody theme, she represents the over-stressed mayor archetype. Tough on the outside with looks that can stop any student in its tracks, she runs her school with a strong presence - but she does it for pride and honor. She does have a kind heart on the inside and does much for her students and staff, sometimes anonymously. It is stated that she is 40, as in "Next Stop, Armageddon" it is her birthday, and Vallejo mentions that "It starts with a 4."

Raycliff

Voiced by Jeff Probst, the school's vice-principal and Folsom's right-hand man. He doesn't really say much, but can be counted on to spout out school facts, figures and catchy metaphors at the drop of a hat. It's possible that he attended school with Folsom, according to an old school album. It's revealed he had seasickness in one episode.
