Officer Andrews

"Don't kiss and tell."

- Andrews to Hallie McDaniel and Sidney Prescott before his death in Scream 2.

Officer Andrews was a minor character who appears in Scream 2 (1997 film, set in 1998). He worked for Chief Lewis Hartley and was hired to serve as Sidney Prescott's bodyguard when it became apparent she was the prime target in The Windsor College Murders in Spring 1998.

His work partner was Officer Richards and he was the fifth person to fall victim to the second Ghostface killing spree. He was killed by Mickey Altieri. He was portrayed by Philip Pavel.

Background
Officer Andrews was a single Gemini and believed by Sidney to be gay. A law enforcement officer, he was one of Chief Hartley's best men.

Scream 2
After the murders of three Windsor College students, Phil Stevens, Maureen Evans and Cici Cooper, and the attack of Sidney Prescott, Andrews spoke with Mickey Altieri outside Derek Feldman's hospital room. He and his partner, Officer Richards were soon ordered to protect her. They followed her throughout the day, while walking through campus with Derek, eating lunch with her friends, and The Fall of Troy rehearsals. The two searched for the killer when Sidney was harassed at the school's library via the internet and brought Cotton Weary into custody when he confronted Sidney about an interview.

After the announced murder of another Windsor College student, Randy Meeks, Officer Andrews and Officer Richards were tasked with escorting Sidney and her roommate and best friend Hallie McDaniel to somewhere where they would be safe from harm from the Ghostface killer. While driving them to their safety, they stopped at a red light, which Ghostface used to his advantage and while Officer Andrews and Officer Richards were teasing Sidney and Hallie, Ghostface smashed his left hand through the driver's seat window and slashed Officer Andrews' throat. Ghostface then proceeded to beat up Officer Richards, hijack the car, crash it, impale Officer Richards through the back of the head with a large and long metal pole, killing him and finally killing Hallie by stabbing her in the chest four times in rapid succession before continuing to pursue Sidney.

In the climax of the film, when one of Ghostface killer's reveals their identity, Mickey Altieri, a large wound can be seen on the right side of his forehead which must have been sustained from the car crash, which would imply that he was the Ghostface that was responsible for the murders of Officer Andrews, Officer Richards and Hallie.

Trivia

 * Andrews and Richards' names are references to the two children actors (Brian Andrews and Kyle Richards) in Halloween (1978 film).
 * It is unknown who played him in the Stab franchise.
 * It is likely Mickey stalked them after the cafeteria scene with Derek, as their presence were supposed to be anonymous, but Sidney casually identified them to her friendship circle, including details of their personal life.
 * Sidney suspected Andrews to be gay.
 * His final line is a reference to the "Don't ask, don't tell" policy initiated by the US government for LGBT people in the military.
 * It is unclear whether his character is officially gay, as Sidney only speculated. (But it is implied regardless). Because it is not official, Mindy Meeks-Martin is technically the first gay character introduced into the film series.
