Davis Quinton

Senior police officer Davis Quinton is no small town cop.

He doesn't take his position in the community lightly and his civic duty often leads to drastic measures - like the first Dog River Police ride-along.

Keeping his 'rookie' cop in line can be trying at times, but luckily there's new equipment to try out and townspeople to protect.
