Which character does Melissa Fumero play in Brooklyn Nine-Nine?

Melissa Fumero plays Amy Santiago in Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Amy is an ambitious, highly organized NYPD detective whose competitiveness and rule-following make her one of the precinct’s most distinctive characters.

Amy begins the series as Jake Peralta’s colleague and friendly rival at the fictional 99th Precinct. Their contrasting personalities—Amy’s love of procedures and Jake’s improvisational style—gradually develop into a romantic relationship. They begin dating in season 3, marry in season 5, and later have a son together.

Amy’s career also advances throughout the show. She becomes a sergeant in season 5 and eventually leads a police-reform program in the final season. Fumero’s performance helped make Amy a notable Latina lead character in a network comedy. A common mix-up is confusing her with Rosa Diaz, who is played by Stephanie Beatriz; Gina Linetti is played by Chelsea Peretti, while Sharon Jeffords is Terry’s wife.
