!!Lytton Police Department:
!!!Sonny Bonds
[[quoteright:190:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sonnypq1vga.png]]
->'''Played by:''' Chris Barnes
The protagonist of the first three games. A policeman who does his best to keep Lytton's streets safe. According to Jim Walls, he's based on his son Sonny.
----
* 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.

----
* DaChief: He's a no-nonsense watch commander in the first game, although he does end up as the victim of several pranks by The Gremlin.
* RankUp: He's a patrol Sergeant in the first game and moves up to Detective Lieutenant in the second.
* SirSwearsALot: Not as much as Dennis Walker in ''Open Season'', but he still has a higher swear quota than most characters.
!!Civilians:
!!!Marie Wilkins
[[quoteright:190:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mariepq1vga.png]]
->'''Played by:''' Cheri Loyd
Sonny's friend from high school and wife later on.
----
* 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. That said, accepting her offer of spending fun time with her in the first game's VGA remake brings disastrous results.
!!Suspects:
!!!Jesse Bains
[[quoteright:334:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jessebainspq1vga.png]]
The Death Angel. A dangerous drug lord, who is responsible for several murders.
----
* BigBad: He's the titular Death Angel. The plot of the first and second game revolves around stopping him.
* CopKiller: In the second game, Jesse escapes from jail and abducts a corrections officer, who he later kills.
* CutsceneBoss: The final shootout with him in the first game is done without the player's input, with Sonny firing off two shots at him with his Derringer and wounding him with the second shot. 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".
* InconsistentSpelling: His name is spelled as "Jessie" in the first three games and as "Jesse" in the VGA remake of the first.
