As part of these shows, Danni used her experience of being in the forces to explore if it was truly possible for people to go ‘off the grid’.
Aged 18, Danni left education with the hopes of joining the police force. Impressively passing the training course of the Metropolitan Police, Danni became a Met officer of the Metropolitan Police in 2002. From that point on she served for over 10 years in the force, before leaving to work in private sector security. Danni has also worked as a lead investigator for a variety of private investigations and was also the Head of Intelligence Services for RGI Solutions.
