Danny Butterman

"Have you ever fired your gun up in the air and gone "ahhrgh"?"

- Danny Butterman

Danny Butterman is the son of Inspector Frank Butterman, and Nicholas Angel's new partner in Sandford.

Characterization
Danny is presented as a blundering but good-natured cop with a love of American police action movies, such as Point Break and Bad Boys II. Bored with police duty in the small town of Sandford, he longs to face "proper action" as he sees in the movies and takes an immediate interest to the Londoner Angel, as he perceives the city to be much more exciting and dangerous for a police officer.

Danny ultimately inspires Angel to take back Sandford from the Neighbourhood Watch Alliance through his love of action movies, and gets to live his dream of participating in car chases and gunfights as he helps Angel defeat the NWA.
