Tim Bradford is a white man with dark brown hair. He has blue eyes. He is 188cm (6ft2in) tall. He is very athletic as he works out very often.

He is a very serious person. A lot of people who don't know him well thinks he is very cold, but his friend knows him as someone who can be caring, even if he doesn't show it explicitly. He can be very competitive.

Bradford is a tough training officer, who frequently springs tests on Chen in difficult situations. In the pilot episode, he speaks Spanish, and in "Flesh and Blood", he was Talia Bishop's training officer.

He is known for his tough exterior and his unwavering dedication to the job, but he also possesses a compassionate side that is often revealed in his interactions with his colleagues. One of the most captivating aspects of Tim Bradford's character is his complex and multifaceted personality. Bradford at first glance seems to be a tough-as-nails, no-nonsense cop, completely dedicated to the job and his 'sacred duty' to train new cops to be the best they can be. He would only enter moderately personal conversations with cops he had worked with for years, such as his fellow training officers, Talia Bishop and Angela Lopez who in turn helped him. It required the tact and sensitivity of his rookie Lucy Chen to get him to open up and it was her that would help to guide him through some difficult personal issues, such as events surrounding his addict ex-wife Isabel Bradford.

Growing up with an abusive father contributed to his toughness and strictness as a training officer. His time in the military before joining the LAPD added to this. Bradford was initially incredibly tough on Chen, issuing random tests to expose her shortcomings as an officer as well as to give her a dose of reality, something she did need as her nature was to be kind and compassionate at extreme levels, traits that cops cannot afford to have in some situations. Despite his tough approach to training, Bradford can show his own compassion where needed. When Chen got stuck with a used needle, his demeanor immediately shifted, becoming much more sensitive as he attempted to guide Chen through the procedure for getting stuck and the emotional fallout when she gets a severe dose of mortality in the immediate aftermath.

He is an avid sports fan, especially American football.

Tom Bradford, Tim's dad, he physically abused his children when he was younger, in particular Tim.
