Det. Dan D. Mann is a character in The Sims Bustin' Out for handheld and The Urbz: Sims in the City for handheld, with a cameo as the Sheriff in The Sims 2 for Nintendo DS.
Biography[]
His sister, who is also Nora Zeal-Ott's mother, was killed by the Veloci-Rooster. This harrowing incident affected both Nora and Dan quite deeply, and this was probably what motivated Dan to become an officer: to catch the Veloci-Rooster.
In The Sims: Bustin' Out, Detective Dan is a very respectable but slightly unfriendly man. He takes his job seriously and detests corruption. He does have some sense of humor, as he reacts positively to jokes, but he is still difficult to befriend.
However, in The Urbz: Sims in the City, Detective Dan is light-hearted, carefree, amicable and easy to get along with. He is a lot more sympathetic towards the player but he will nevertheless take justice's side if the player is caught breaking a law.
The Sims: Bustin' Out (handheld)[]
When Detective Dan is not watching the jail, he likes to visit the General Store, the park, or the beach.
Description[]
Detective Mann is a no-nonsense cop with a nose for facts and figures. He's kind but a little humorless.
Story[]
In Mission 1, someone has let Uncle Hayseed's chickens loose. Detective Dan tells the player that it was the work of the Veloci-Rooster and that he has been trying to capture it all his life with no success. He also tasks the player with attending the SimValley auctions which he suspects may be hosting a crime ring.
In Mission 3, the player is trying to reopen Club Rubb. Detective Dan tells the player that the previous owner owed the bank §1000 in taxes, and so Detective Dan was forced to shut the club down. When the player succeeds in raising the money, Detective Dan retrieves the permit from the bank and reopens the club.
In Mission 4, the player is finally able to locate and capture the Veloci-Rooster, which the player takes to Detective Dan. It is unknown what Detective Dan decides to do with the Veloci-Rooster afterwards.

Trivia[]
- In The Sims Bustin' Out for handheld, Dan D. Mann tells the player how he has been trying to capture the Veloci-Rooster, also known as failed experiment #24601, his whole life with no success. This is a reference to Victor Hugo's character Javert in his novel Les Misérables, a police officer who spends many years chasing after a former prisoner named Jean Valjean, whose number was 24601.
- His name is a pun on Detective Dandyman, or possibly "Dan the Man" (since "The Man" is slang for authority figures).
