Harlan Arliss is a mechanic for the California Highway Patrol at their Central Los Angeles headquarters.[1]
His life-long dream is to be a CHP...but he's two inches short of the height requirement.[1] He is 5' 3 7/8" tall and when the LAPD lowered their height requirement, he almost became an officer, but his eyes weren't good enough.[2]
Harlan has a dog named Dave, a former drug sniffing police dog.[1]
Harlan has his mom buy his shoes because he has small feet.[3] He has a talent for siphoning gasoline out of state vehicles. He also beat Getraer at chess. Grossie would have beaten him at chess if he didn't knock over the board.[4]
In one episode, Harlan's personal information was shown on a malfunctioning computer screen. It listed his license number as #Z9023741. He lived at 9246 Beech Drive, Los Angeles, California 90222. (No such address actually exists.) He had 10 moving violations, including 03-17-79, 06-22-80, 09-13-80, and 10-21-80.[5]
His current whereabouts are unknown.
