Dr. Ing began his career in the 1970's when detectives were detectives not investigators and the art of detection was based on individual wits and
"street smarts" alone, decades before computers and DNA technology became the norm.
At an early age he was inspired by, had personally met, and was privileged to learn from some of the most notable in the art of detection.
Proud to be from "the old school," he has over 25 years of professional experience as a forensic intelligence specialist.
Dr. Robert Ing's current forensic intelligence practice sees him engaged as a security advisor, media spokesperson, speaker and lecturer.
Dr. Ing is available for media, lecture and speaking engagements in Canada and The United Kingdom.
