The show is a satire based on the FOX Television show Cops, which follows actual police officers through their daily duties. Reno 911! features members of a fictitious, inept Reno Sheriff's Department, videotaped in the course of their duties, sometimes addressing the camera directly as though being interviewed.
The show deals heavily in politically-incorrect and 'racy' humor, including many jokes about race, sexual orientation, drug and alcohol abuse, rape, and so on.
Lieutenant Jim Dangle (Thomas Lennon)
He is the highest-ranking deputy in the department and is almost always seen wearing his trademark short-shorts, which he wears for 'mobility'.
The comedic theme of the character is that Dangle is gay. He openly harbors an attraction to Jones and occasionally flirts with suspects.
Dangle is a former maitre d' and member of the United States Coast Guard who was stationed in Hawaii and who was discharged from the Coast Guard for reasons undisclosed.
Deputy Trudy Wiegel (Kerri Kenney-Silver)
She is an emotionally unstable, heavily-medicated Caucasian-American. She is a hypochondriac, with multiple psychological disorders, occasional night terrors, suicidal ideations, and some signs of autism.
She is a generally odd, neurotic person with low self-esteem and a love for cats. She enjoys crafts, collecting baby clothes, and is infatuated with Lt. Dangle.
Deputy Sven Jones (Cedric Yarbrough)
He is an emotionally shallow smooth-talker who frequently channels his need for attention into sexually promiscuous behavior. He is often called "Jonesy" by his co-workers.
He is a horrible dancer, but a good singer with a wide vocal range (singing in either a deep baritone or a high-pitched, R&B-style falsetto) and works part-time as a stripper dressed in a police uniform.
Deputy Raineesha Williams (Niecy Nash)
She is a boisterous, obnoxious woman who enjoys abusing the power over men that her police authority affords her.
Williams' proudest possession is her enormous posterior. She often yells, "...Hahh?!?" for effect, after making a blunt statement.
She claimed to have broken-up with Jones, but she is only too happy to answer his booty calls. She often looks for ways to abuse the system to her personal advantage.
Deputy Travis Junior (Robert Ben Garant)
He is a stereotypical redneck who likes beer, NASCAR, firearms, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and perhaps most of all, his moustache. Junior trains police dogs for the department and is rarely seen without his trademark aviator sunglasses.
When working, he always wears his Kevlar vest over his uniform shirt (instead of under it, as one normally would); he has claimed that he forgets to put his body armor under his shirt because he is always hung over in the morning.
Sergeant Jack Declan (Ian Roberts)
He is the second in command after Lt. Jim Dangle, who Jack is often seen sucking up to. He is sometimes called "Captain Jack" by Dangle and the other deputies.
He appears confident and in control of himself, when compared to most of the other deputies. Despite his exterior display of confidence, he is extremely insecure, even at one point sobbing to himself in a stall in the men's changing room.
Deputy Frank Rizzo (Joe Lo Truglio)
He is from Ozone Park, Queens, where he has been banned from for undisclosed reasons that he takes full responsibility for. He has a long history in law enforcement, working in many cities across the country and is infatuated with Wiegel.
Like the other deputies, Rizzo has behaved unprofessionally multiple times, at one point soliciting prostitutes to perform oral sex on him and Jones during a drug sting, and even giving a classroom lecture that implied the torture of felons and criminals for information.
Deputies Garcia, Johnson, and Kimball did not return for the sixth season.
Deputy James Garcia (Carlos Alazraqui)
He was a racist, sexist, angry and depressed former Marine helicopter pilot.
Garcia is known to be violent when arresting suspects, perhaps as a result of his inferiority complex. He has shot multiple people, and occasionally uses his nightstick to beat suspects.
He has had brief relationships with deputies Johnson and Williams and it is implied that he harbors a homoerotic attraction to Kenny Rogers.
Deputy Clementine Johnson (Wendi McLendon-Covey)
She was a promiscuous, trashy, drug-friendly blonde who always wears her uniform partially unbuttoned, showing off her cleavage.
In the past, Johnson has been a magician's assistant, an exotic dancer, a Wiccan and a Steely Dan groupie. Her comment at a wedding about performing the night before for the bachelor party makes it clear she has an off-duty job. She has a tattoo on her back which once said Steed (a one-time boyfriend), later changed to Steely Dan after the relationship ended.
Deputy Cherisha Kimball (Mary Birdsong)
She was a pious, tough, no-nonsense cop who is basically the polar opposite of Dep. Johnson.
She is perpetually accused of being a lesbian, despite her denials when asked bluntly on several occasions. She is often asked for dates by lesbians. She spends her off-duty time with her church group (composed of male, Christian virgins), singing karaoke versions of old gospel songs.
