Protect and Serve

In today's episode we speak with former detective inspector, Steven Keogh joined London's Metropolitan Police in 1991. He spent the majority of his 30 year career as a detective, investigating serious crimes.

He joined Scotland Yard's elite Anti-Terrorist Branch in 2002, where he spent three years investigating terrorism. In 2005 he received a commendation from the then Commissioner, Sir Ian Blair for the work he carried out on the London 7/7 Bombings.

In 2009 he joined Scotland Yard's Murder Investigation Teams where he remained for 12 years, building up a vast knowledge of what it takes to catch killers and bring them to justice.

He has since gone on to be a public speaker on the subject of murder investigation and is the author of Murder Investigation Team: How Scotland Yard Really Catches Killers. This is the first book, to look at how these world renowned detectives, investigate murders.

Roy McComb is a former senior detective with the Police Service of Northern Ireland (the Royal Ulster Constabulary), who subsequently became Deputy Director for the National Crime Agency. In 2015 he was appointed to lead the investigation into long-standing allegations of police corruption in relation to the original Stephen Lawrence murder inquiry.

Roy started his career in policing in Northern Ireland during 'the troubles'. A highly volatile time when police not only had to deal with the everyday duties of normal policing but also faced the daily threat of terror attacks. Roy and his colleagues spent their days constantly thinking about personal safety, living double lives, and lying to others about the job they did.

Any small slip-up could result in them being killed by the IRA. Roy's story is truly captivating and we are so honored to have him join us on Protect and serve.
