Jose "Joe" Velasco

Detective Jose "Joe" Velasco is a detective with the Special Victims Unit. He was assigned to the squad following the retirement of Katriona Tamin. Velasco is from the Anapra neighborhood in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico. As mentioned by himself, he grew up with a very mean father who would often beat him with a belt. When his father died, Velasco took his belt while the rest of the family were interested in his money. He took the belt to remind himself of who he really is and how he has to overcome everything. He later became a delinquent who ran with the bad crowd. At one point, Velasco was used by the gang to be bait for a pedophile who they sought to punish. Velasco reluctantly did so and led the man to a secluded spot, where he was ambushed by the gang, and he watched in horror as the man was beaten to an inch of his life. Velasco made a promise to only do good, should the man survive and after he did, he acted on the promise and never told the story to anyone. He joins the NYPD and eventually meets his future superior Tommy McGrath. He was born on May 25, 1986, in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. He's 38 years old. Height: 6′ 0″ and Weight: 70 kg.
