• 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, doing crimes such as stealing other peoples' lunch money. 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.

• 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 a reform 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), arrives at X Middle School and partners with Fillmore after he helped her clear her name in "Ingrid Third, Public Enemy #1".

• Vallejo

Voiced by Horatio Sanz, is the junior commissioner of the Safety Patrol and Fillmore's immediate superior. Vallejo's first name is "Dutch". 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 Frank, a profiler, after a case went wrong.

• 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. 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.

• Dawn S. Folsom

Voiced by Wendie Malick, the principal of X Middle School. 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.

• 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.

• In the episode "Field Trip of the Just", Fillmore receives an all-day, off-campus platinum pass from Principal Folsom with the task of tracking down Eric Orbin. Tehama later equates the pass to having an immunity idol. This is a connection to Survivor, which Jeff Probst, the voice of Raycliff, hosts.

Most of the executive producers for Fillmore! worked on American Dragon: Jake Long. Fillmore! creator Scott Gimple wrote the episode "Halloween Bash", in which Ingrid Third can be seen at Jake's Halloween party. Also, the voice of Principal Folsom (Wendie Malick), voiced Jake's aunt in American Dragon. Additionally, Jake's school is Millard Fillmore Middle School.
