  • Judy is the only one of the Jump Street gang who lost a child (due to a abortion) and the fourth Jump Street gang member to have child known on the TV Series or Movie the first is Captain Richard Jenko who has presumably son Greg Jenko and the second is Captain Adam Fuller who has a son Kingpin “Kip”Fuller and the third is Sal Banducci who has four children and the fifth is Doug Penhall who adopts his widow Marta nephew Clavo as his own son/legal ward and the sixth is Captain Dickson who has a daughter.
  • Judy is one of two of Jump Street officers who was promoted to sergeant (Ioki was the other). Later, she is the only JS officer to be promoted to detective. When Doug Penhall angrily suggests that Hoffs was promoted over him because she was a "double minority" (as a black female), Hoffs points out that she has a college education and worked with the mayor's office over the previous summer, among other reasons why she was picked over Penhall.
