Superintendent 52 John Heaton is a fictional character in the long-running and popular ITV drama The Bill. His callsign is 'Sierra Oscar 52'. He is played by Daniel Flynn.

Heaton became Superintendent at Sun Hill in June 2006, having previously been a Detective Chief Inspector. He is very much a 'hands-on' officer, leading several raids.

He is married to Rhiannon Heaton; they have an adopted child, Charlie.

Heaton is known as a 'cool, level headed officer' and takes crime very seriously.

In 2006 he had an affair with DAC Georgia Hobbs, but ended the relationship when he found out that DAC Hobbs had pushed to get Sun Hill closed as she had promised the land to a developer. After taping a conversation where she admitted her role to Heaton he turned both her and the evidence over to the DPS.

In 2007 John's old enemy and former colleague in the police, Ray Moore, a gangster and club owner, arrives in Sun Hill from Manchester. Knowing how ruthless Moore can be, Heaton sends Rhiannon and Charlie to Bristol for safety.

John Heaton was DC Grace Dasari's DCI at her previous job, and knew PC Diane Noble previously, through her ex-husband.
