Known as SDU's "demon trainer," To is tough, strict, and demanding. To's emphasis on the importance of team spirit is one of the reasons why he initially disapproves of alpha team's new member Yu Hok-lai, who is rash and overconfident. Having that his father, a police officer who was forced into early retirement because he was suspected of violating a conduct code, To is extremely cautious and rigorous when handling team missions. Despite To's austere demeanor, he can be kindhearted and friendly, and often treats his teammates to happy hour at the pub owned by his parents. To also follows his own rigorous training techniques with his subordinates, earning the respect of his team.

While on a vacation with his teammate and best friend, Chong Chuk-yuen, To meets the air flight attendant Ting Wai-wai, and pursues her after falling in love at first sight. After a few months of dating, Wai-wai decides to move in with To. However, To and Wai-wai gradually grew apart due to his commitment to his work and Wai-wai's long weeks away from home. He eventually fell for Yuen's older sister and their mutual respect and similar personalities sparked a relationship, which sadly ended when Wah found herself still unable to let go of her fiancee's death, despite how much she tried.

Chong Cheuk-yuen

 * Portrayed by Oscar Leung
 * Episodes: 1.01—present

Acting Sergeant Chong Chuk-yuen (莊卓源; jyutping: Zong Coekjyun) is an SDU sniper of the unit's alpha team. He is the younger brother of Chong Chuk-wah, the senior inspector of OCTB's A Division. Due to Yuen's carefree and joking personality, many mistaken him to possess a careless and casual attitude towards work. However, Yuen's careful and calm judgement makes him one of the most talented sharpshooters in the unit.

Yuen develops a crush on Ting Wai-wai, whom he met while on a vacation with his best friend, To. However, Wai-wai takes an interest at To, and begins to date him soon after their encounter, prompting Yuen to merely view her as a "sister-in-law". When To is unavailable to go on dates with Wai-wai, Yuen fills in his spot as Wai-wai's confidant. This causes Wai-wai to fall for him eventually, causing conflict between Yuen and To. The rift driving them apart due to this is eventually settled over time, as To stops caring for Wai-wai romantically and moves on with his life.

Yau Chun-hin

 * Portrayed by Vincent Wong
 * Episodes: 1.01—1.13

Lai's older brother is an accomplished law enforcer personnel, and because of this, Hin always felt like he is living under the shadow of his brother, causing him to be extremely unconfident (though this trait dissipates as time passes and Hin improves). He acts as a foil to the originally overconfident and arrogant Lai, and is often the first to bail him out of trouble or help him out. In Episode 13, the finale of Tiger Cubs, Hin shoots the motor of the boat that To Tin-yu and Yiu Mei-ling tried escaping in. This led to Yiu Mei-ling to suffer from third degree burns, and her face became scarred, prompting Yu and Mei-ling to plot revenge against Hin. They tied him to a cross and tortured him by beating him up and then burning his bare skin with hot iron, before shooting him in his legs, arms and his heart- ending his life right in front of Chin hon-to.

She eventually starts a relationship with Chin Hon-to at the end of season one, as she prepares herself to let go of her past. However, Wah does not appear in Tiger Cubs II and was indicated to be written out of season two. Whilst in England to undergo training, she encounters the family of her deceased fiancee- Bong, and is taken to the house he had prepared as their marital home- done in detail to her exact liking so that she and Bong could move in even though the latter has died. This causes Wah to find that she cannot let go of him, despite her attempt to move on with To, leading her to send To a "Dear John" text and break up with him.
