Behind the Scenes: Life as TV Murder Detective

What’s it like to be a television police expert? We chat with Steve Keogh, former Met murder detective, to find out about life in front of the camera.

Steve was a police officer with London’s Metropolitan police for 30 years and now retired he provides consultancy for documentary producers alongside appearing as an onscreen expert. He also presents his own TV series, Secrets of a Murder Detective on True Crime.

We’ll be asking Steve to give ATCP members an insight into the realities of leaving the police force and entering the world of television. How has he, and his colleagues, navigated the industry? How can we work with former detectives? How should we be liaising with current police officers? And finally, how does it feel to re-live cases in front of the television lens?
