Davis Quinton is Dog River's overly-sensitive senior police officer who has a habit of misspending the police budget and making up the laws as he goes along. This leaves him and Karen Pelly (the only other officer in town) with a lot of down time. He is obsessed with Cosmopolitan Magazine, retro-TV, classic cartoons and science fiction. He believes that the original Battlestar Galactica may have really happened. He loves rhythmic gymnastics and also has a collection of the original Hardy Boys books. Davis is divorced. His mother left him when he was a baby to join a band and he thought his cleaning lady was his Mom. He's a member of the Cree Nation. ("I Love Lacey") He's portrayed by Lorne Cardinal. |
