Dear Kim, I first met you when I had the pleasure of travelling upto Manchester with you to that FLO conference. We talked non-stop and your warm and kind nature made me feel at ease and you certainly made me laugh! You always had a big smile and made the time to say hello whenever I saw you after that. You are such an inspiration and will never be forgotten. Rest in peace. Love Max xx…

Kim, I first met you on joining the City PPU in January 2018.  Although you were no longer posted there you were still part of the “family” and welcomed me in after a night out drinking where my over indulgence of Rose wine gave me the nickname of “Rosie”, which stuck thereafter!  I will always remember you looking absolutely stunning in that dress at the Force Awards you literally shone! I know you will be sorely missed by all that knew you..Rest in Peace lovely Kim xxx…

Dear Kim, Wow, did you scare me when we first met……..I’d joined PPU, and you quickly put me in my place! After a few months of settling in, you shared your amazing victim skills and brilliant work ethic with me. I learnt so much from you. You would always go the extra mile for a job, always willing to give advice and help anyone who asked. I’ll never forget when the girls visited Whitstable, you missed the train getting a coffee, I had to collect you from a different station and then you told me off!!! However, I think my favourite memory is of the force awards, you looked stunning, and we had a hilarious time with Deborah. If you know, you know!!! The world is a less colourful place without you. Rest in Peace. Syd xxx…

Kim. Kimbo. We first met when I started in the PPU, and I sat opposite you at your desk. You wouldn’t even look at me for the first  few weeks! When you finally decided I was alright you became my biggest champion, mentoring me in all things PPU. You were amazing with victims and could put the most nervous and traumatised at ease. I learnt a lot from you.   If you were lucky enough to be loved by Kim you knew about it! She was loud, brash and wonderfully loyal. Kim was devoted to her family, including her non-human members, and her friends. I can’t believe you are not here anymore. But when I think of you I can’t help but smile – all I see is you skipping out of the office yelling ‘Toodlepip chums!’ at 4 on the dot!  Lots of love Siany xx (you were the only one allowed to call me that!)…

Dear Kim, You were a great investigator and more importantly a larger-than-life character in the our IFED team – fierce but compassionate, everyone who worked with you will miss you so very much. I remember when I had to cancel our Christmas party due to Covid.  Despite being ill (that was never going to stop you going to the party) you were absolutely furious with me, demanding to know why it was cancelled and letting me know in no uncertain terms what you thought of the decision! That’s how i’ll remember you: Fun, straight-talking, and someone I’d always want on my side. Rest in peace. Tom…

Dearest Kimbo  I still can’t get my head round that fact that you are gone and I won’t bump in to you…..I had the pleasure of working in an amazing PPU team with you, and still remember my first few days when I was completely intimidated by you even though I was your boss! I soon realised that you were the heartbeat of PPU, and looked forward to your daily debriefs of the night before, or weekend activtities and our unusual disection of whatever job had come in! I will be forever jealous of your ability to absolutely rock any hair do, colour or outfit and will always remember your infectious laugh and smile. I know Mouse will be waiting for you, rest in peace Kimbo x x x …

So hard to believe you are gone. .. you were the ultimate party Queen! No more pain now but lots of dancing!  Rest in peace Kimbo.  Edelle x…

I first met Kim when I joined D Group at Snow Hill in 2002.  We instantly became great friends and on duty we went everywhere together.   One of my funniest memories of her was when she unknowingly dropped her warrant card down the toilet at Snow Hill then proceeded to wee on it.  The laughter and giggling will always remain with me.  In typical Kim style, she couldn’t talk for laughing along with a few expletives, when she realised she needed to get a replacement warrant card holder and had to explain what had happened to the current one. I have never heard a bad word said about Kim and those who knew her and worked with her will no doubt have lasting memories of such a kind, infectious, funny and hard working character that was Kim.   When Kim joined the CP4 cycle squad, she talked me into doing the London – Brighton cycle ride with her and rest of the cycle team.  Well no word of a lie, we had all weathers that day.  The sunshine kept us going through the gruelling ride but when it rained and hailstones fell, she was not a happy bunny and as…

To Kim, my beautiful, funny, crazy work Mumma! I still remember coming into PPU as a 24 year old girl, not knowing anyone and never having worked with the police before.. Saj invited me to the Christmas party that week as someone had dropped out. You weren’t particularly impressed by this, I later found out, as I was not yet in the circle of trust! I came along, completely unaware, but after a few too many… we were best mates and I was well and truly in the circle. We have so many funny memories of our time in PPU, we were such a close unit and we got each other through some difficult times. I really valued our special friendship, as you called me your work daughter and you were my work Mumma. You looked out for me and offered support during a tricky time in my life, took me out into the sofa area and gave me a shoulder to cry on and a good talking to! I will forever be grateful for having you in my life and that you allowed me into the circle. You were the life and soul of the party and didn’t…

‘Kimbo’, an infectious laugh and a smile to brighten any room merely by your presence …. never a sad face or a dull moment even in the face of adversity, having spent the past 6 years working with you it was an absolute pleasure to have done so. May you rest easy Kim, your duty is done. Maximum love and respect. ‘John boy’….

It will be impossible not to miss Kim. I had the pleasure of working with Kim over the last 12 months, and what an amazing lady and colleague!  Kim was always laughing, and the office was never dull if she was in it. She was always willing to lend a hand to anyone who needed it, she helped me a number of times when I was newer to the office.   I also distinctly remember her dragging me onto a dancefloor in Bournemouth when we had to be up at 5.30am the next morning. She put my moves to shame too!   Rest in Peace Kim, you will be missed x…

The Audio Transcribers are sad to hear the loss of Kim, and express our sincere condolences to the family.  We knew Kim more from the audio recordings than in person.  She had a distinctive voice, full of passion and enthusiasm and was very recognisable.  It was always a pleasure transcribing her interviews, she was clear, organised and knew what she was doing.  We shall miss her.  May she rest in peace.  xxx…

I first met Kim in 2001 during the police pre-select assesments as part of the application process to join the city police. I liked her immediately. Her laugh was so loud, infectious and genuine she stood out from the room of twenty five candidates by a country mile, and is without doubt the leading memory I have of that day. I was incredibly pleased to see her again on my first day with the city police in the classroom at Bishopsgate. We often joked about how we were the only ones to have sucsessfully made it through that recruitment process, and how bad the other twenty three candidates must have been if us two were aparently the best of the bunch!  Kim an I went to Ashford training college together, were in the same class there together and when we completed Ashford, were both sent to Snowhill together (albeit on different groups). Shortly after our probation ended we were re-united on the newly formed cycle squad and had a couple of years together peddling aroung the city, mostly joking and  laughing with the occasional bit of police work thrown in. Those years are amongst the most memorable moments of…

Dear Kimbo, I feel very sad to write this and I cannot believe that you have gone. You was truly the soul of the party that everyone needed. Whenever i saw you, you always showed me so much love and care!  We had few nights out to remember, yet Tina Turner night on shaftsbury avenue was amongst the best!! 🙂  and more recently we went partying together at the birthday bash where we caught up and had long discussions about life and general chit chat! I was so proud on how far you came with battling this in silent and you just said ‘im a fighter Oms’ and we a good old giggle! I can still hear your voice whilst typing this and i feel sad you are no longer here 🙁  I walked past the PPU office yesterday and I remebered you once again, I will miss you very much Kimbo and I cannot belive you have gone so soon. RIP Kimbo xxx Omar …
