  • Professor Third- First appearance in 'Red Robins don't Fly' and made a second appearance in 'A Cold Day at X', but plays a very minor role.

He is also a Professor at a university . His first name is unknown. He is voiced by Anthony Stewart Head.
  • Ariel Third- Was first mentioned in 'Next Stop, Armageddon' by Ingrid but her name wasn't mentioned until 'A Cold Day at X' where she made a short appearance. She has a similar hairstyle to Ingrid and collects pictures of mailboxes. She was also voiced by Tara Strong.
  • Sonny Lombard- One of Fillmore's old partners in crime until Fillmore turned it around for himself. Not much in known about his and Fillmore's days before he turned good except that Fillmore served six months of detention for him even when he didn't do anything. Sonny appears in 'A Forgotten Yesterday' in which Fillmore turns to Sonny for help after his bike gets sabotaged. After getting suspended from the force Fillmore turns to Sonny about what to do as they know that Rudy Teravall has the evidence that'll help clear his name, but without a warrant it would be stealing it. At the end of the episode Sonny turned out to just be using Fillmore to get the evidence which turned out to stolen term papers. He was later taken in by the Safety Patrol after being caught. He was voiced by Marcus T. Paulk.
  • Malika- Use to be part of the safety patrol as Vallejo's partner but after an undercover job as a Red Robin she turned on them. She quit all of the clubs she had belonged to and became leader of the Red Robin. Ingrid met her when she was sent undercover as a Red Robin to find some evidence that'll finally stop them. However Ingrid and Malika became good friends finding they have a lot in common. Malika wanted her to take over the Red Robins even when she found out Ingrid was actually undercover. However Ingrid stayed loyal to the safety patrol and with the help of Fillmore brought Malika down. Malika was voiced by Lynsey Bartilson.
  • Penny Madrid- Another one of Fillmore's ex partners. She appeared in 'Immune to All but Justice'. She apparently turned it around for herself and was helping Winston Kotter with the Canadian charity drives. However when he turned out to be dealing in fake baseball cards Penny spied on him for the safety patrol. When Winston became out of business due to being found out Fillmore found that some of the card plates were still missing. Due to Penny slipping up he found that she had stolen them from Winston and was going to carry on with the business. Fillmore told her to turn herself in the next day before he could arrest her. She was voiced by Francesca Smith.
  • Peter Chestnut- Once recruited on the force to carry on the family tradition as all 3 of his brothers belonged to the safety patrol. He helped Fillmore and Ingrid discover who was behind the stolen lobster claws. He found that his brother had stolen them to keep the tradition of Chestnuts always being perfect (it was due to his dreadful handwriting that the printers made the claws say the wrong thing). After they caught his brother Fillmore convinced Peter that he didn't have to follow the family tradition. It turn Peter followed his true ambitions and auditioned for barbershop quartet.
  • Frank Bishop Frank Bishop was once a member of the safety patrol and Vallejo's partner until a case went wrong. In order for the school to not have legal difficulty Frank got the blame and was kicked off the force, even though Vallejo had helped and wasn't punished. He is called back onto the force by Vallejo to help catch the shedder, which turns to be his own sister Francine. After forgiving Vallejo it was assumed at the end of the episode he would be recruited on the force but he never made another appearance.
  • Ellaine Ellaine appeared in 'Nappers never sleep'. However throughout the entire series she can be spotted throughout episodes as a background character.
