* In ''WesternAnimation/FIsForFamily'', the hospital receptionist Beatrice has this relationship with the Murphys.

* [[TheKlutz Tim]] from ''Series/HomeImprovement''. One episode has his son get injured. When Tim takes him to the hospital, it turns out he's on a first-name basis with the staff (who, assuming he's the one injured again, are glad to see he's walking in under his own power). He even has his own coffee mug there. Naturally, he ends up suffering an injury [[TemptingFate while musing about how he's never been there without being hurt.]]

* [[TheKlutz Tim]] from ''Series/HomeImprovement''. One episode has his son get injured. When Tim takes him to the hospital, it turns out he's on a first-name basis with the staff (who are quite surprised to see him walk in under his own power). He even has his own coffee mug there. Naturally, he ends up suffering an injury [[TemptingFate while musing about how he's never been there without being hurt.]]

* In ''Series/Community'', it's mentioned that Greendale Community College is on 911's blocked caller list. It probably has something to do with their habit of letting things like paintball and pillow fights get completely out of control.

* Overtime, Jake from ''WesternAnimation/MyGympartnerIsAMonkey'' has become a "regular customer" of Dr. Tamarin.

* Ambulance crew generally refer to these individuals as, "frequent flyers". It's not an affectionate nickname, as they tend to be either {{Hypochondria}}cs and calling the local emergency services for no particularly good reason, the town drunk who's keeled over in public, or drug seekers trying to get prescribed their drug of choice. The police also use this term to describe criminals they regularly are arresting for whatever reason.

* An episode of ''Series/{{Titus}}'' opens something like this:

--> ''[Titus eyes the desk sergeant top to bottom]''
--> '''Titus:''' ''[shaking his hand]'' Hi, Christopher Titus, you must be new here.

* In ''Series/MarriedWithChildren'', Al pretty much start knowing the cops on a first name basis due to getting arrested multiple times over the series. So much so one of them eventually becomes a member of his "No Ma'am" club and even helps Al out when Bud got arrested for sexual harassment.

** In one episode, Malcolm is taken to the hospital to treat a serious head injury; the hospital is already familiar with Malcolm and all his brothers, as they have a history with getting head injuries.

* In ''Fanfic/AYoungWomansPoliticalRecord'', [[LightNovel/YoujoSenki Tanya von Degurechaff]] has melted so many computation orbs in testing, she knows the exact code for the form she needs to fill to claim it was destroyed in non-combat testing and how to fill it by heart.

* ''Film/JohnWick'': Befitting John's legendary status in the underworld, when the police roll up due to a "noise complaint" (caused by John dispatching a dozen assassins sent to ambush him), John is [[NiceToTheWaiter cordial to the police officer whom he's on a first-name basis with]] and in return, Jimmy knows enough not to bother doing anything even though he can plainly see a dead body in John's home.

* In ''ComicBook/GastonLagaffe'', the firefighters are so used to Gaston's explosive experiments, floods, and noxious gasses they try to beat their own records for time taken to get to his office building. One strip has Fantasio calling them and saying "the usual address". Mind you, many of Gaston's latest lunacies are so outlandish they can ''still'' take them off-guard from times to times.

** In an early episode where Lois has a pregnancy scare, a {{Flashback}} shows Lois, whose heavily pregnant at the time with Dewey, arguing with Hal. They're interrupted by [[FirstNameBasis a cop who greets them by name]] and says that they caught Francis, who was around 8-9 years old at the time, driving a stolen street sweeper, hands them a court summons, and tells them that they know where to go and what to do.

--> '''Tirus:''' Officer, I got a call saying my brother was being held here.

--> ''* Titus eyes the desk sergeant top to bottom''
--> '''Titus:''' ''(Shaking his hand)'' Hi, Christopher Titus, you must be new here.

** In ''Emergency Room'' by Caroline B. Cooney, the police bring an extremely drunk homeless woman into the Emergency Room and the nurse greets her with, "Hi, Norma." Then she turns to Diana (a new hospital volunteer) and explains that the police bring Norma in about once a week and that Diana will soon be able to recognize the regulars too.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' episode "Call the Cops" we learn [[TheDitz Patrick]] has gone on enough [[DrunkOnMilk ice cream benders]] that he keeps a key to the jail cells.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheBoondocks'' episode "The Fried Chicken Flu" when Riley and Granddad notice the fried chicken restaurant ran out of fried chicken, Riley calls 911.
-->'''Riley:''' Hello, 911. No, I ain't calling to snitch! I got a real emergency! Yeah, I'll hold.
* Inverted in ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'', where Bender is familiar enough with the police to recognise individual squad cars by the sound of their sirens.

* In ''Fanfic/AYoungWomansPoliticalRecord'', [[LightNovel/YoujoSenki Tanya von Degurechaff]] has melted so many computation orbs in testin, she knows the exact code for the form she needs to fill to claim it was destroyed in non-combat testing and how to fill it by heart.
