Jo Martinez is a main character and a detective with the New York Police Department.
Detective Jo Martinez is a New York City native and one of the youngest officers of the New York Police Department to make homicide detective.
She has been working as a police officer for at least ten years. Jo's sharp, no-nonsense instincts and her ability to close difficult cases have given her a tough-as-nails reputation on the force, despite also dealing with the untimely loss of her husband.
Combined with Jo's quick-fire cop instincts, Henry's deductive talents have not only contributed to a successful partnership, but also to a budding friendship. She's very devoted to Henry, she covers him a lot in front of their boss and never says a thing about his suicidal instincts.
It's probable she has doubts about his immortality as he drops a lot of clues on her and in the Pilot, she indeed saw him jumped off the roof.
Jo is from Harlem. Her father Victor Martinez Jr was a criminal, he went to trial and is serving his time in prison. One can only assume he probably killed someone. Jo wanted to be the opposite of her father.
In Dead Men Tell Long Tales, Jo and Isaac Monroe went out on a date.
In Best foot Forward, Jo clearly demonstrated the fact she developed (romantic) feelings for Henry as she skipped a trip to Paris with Isaac to go back to him.
In Twitter's Q&A, Matt Miller mentioned that Jo was going to find out about Henry's immortality at the end of season 2 and would accept him and their romantic relationship would start from there.
