A Massachusetts State Police Detective assigned to the Suffolk County District Attorney's office. Easygoing and friendly, Signa tries (generally unsuccessfully) to keep Decourcy from ruffling too many feathers along the way.

Played by Kevin Chapman

A hard-boiled Boston cop who is just trying to get his job done, but who often ends up as a pawn in a corrupt legal system of different factions trying to forward their own agendas. He doesn’t mean to piss people off, he’s just not smart enough not to.
