Meet the Team
Gary Kinch
Gary served with the Met Police for 23 years. He trained as a uniformed Police Constable at Hendon and then moved to Hackney Borough where he quickly progressed onto a specialised firearms team. There he underwent further training as a Detective and worked there for 10 years on CID, Robbery, Burglary, Sapphire and Financial Investigation Teams.
From there he joined specialist teams dealing with serious and organised crime, targeting organised criminal gangs involved in Money Laundering, Drug & Firearm importation and supply. He utilised his National Level 1 surveillance training and driver training throughout his service.
Upon promotion to Detective Sergeant, he spearheaded a team reviewing and serving material for high profile Public Inquiries.
Gary has spent his whole career in public facing roles, initially proactively targeting benefit fraud and now, following retirement from the Police he is employed as a Local Authority Film Officer, helping to bring productions to Essex.
Jo Kinch
Jo worked for the Met for more than 29 years, initially trained in fingerprints, cadaver printing & fingerprint development techniques.
She then worked for 5 years as a scene examiner & mentor at Hackney Borough before being promoted to Senior Forensic Practitioner.
For the next 19 years she worked with the Flying squad and within the serious and organised crime directorate, dealing with firearms, robbery and other organised crime such as kidnap, drugs and trafficking.
