Kinsa was established in response to the rampant increase in images of child sexual abuse on the Internet. As law enforcement agencies around the world began investigating the alarming amount of online child exploitation, they were facing technological and investigative challenges that required a new approach to policing. Kinsa was founded in 2004 by Paul Gillespie, formerly the Officer in Charge of the Child Exploitation Section of the Toronto Police Service, and Bill Hutchison a leader in the global IT industry. Kinsa was born with a mandate to help law enforcement find and rescue children who were being abused. Kinsa has built a multi-faceted global network of experts in the IT sector, law enforcement, prosecution, and legislation. This network of experts enables Kinsa to provide cutting-edge technology, investigative techniques, resources and support to law enforcement around the world. Kinsa also works with government, and initiates and responds to policy changes. Today Kinsa’s mandate has expanded to include healing and support for victims who are rescued from this type of abuse through the Mothers Online Movement (MOM).
