Gregory Gilbertson was a criminal justice professor and university lecturer for 25 years. He’s also a former police officer, international police advisor, Guardian ad Litem, U.S. Army infantry officer, and Distinguished Military Graduate of the U.S. Army Officer Candidate School. After completing his military service, he became a police officer in Atlanta and La Grange, Georgia.

In Atlanta he served as a police patrolman assigned to Zone 3 Precinct.

Greg holds a Bachelor’s degree in History from the University of Washington, and a Master’s degree in Justice Administration from Columbus College (Columbus State University). From 1997 – 2016 he served as a Senior Lecturer of Criminal Justice for Saint Martin’s University and Brandman University (University of Massachusetts Global). In 1999 he became a criminal justice professor at Centralia College. The criminal justice degree he designed and developed was ranked a “Top 10″ online degree in 2018 by BestColleges.com. He retired from Centralia College in March 2022 with an unblemished academic record over 22 years of service.

Greg became a private investigator in 2002. He specialized in criminal defense casework for 12 years. In 2014 he began consulting with attorneys nationwide as an expert witness in police use of force, false arrest, criminal and self-defense casework. To date he has consulted on over 130 civil rights and criminal cases in 25 states. He has testified as an expert witness in the U.S. District courts of Washington and Arizona. He has also testified and in the state courts of Washington, Oregon. Illinois, Kansas, and Connecticut. He has helped attorneys nationwide secure over 10 million dollars in settlements and judgements for their clients.

The origins of Greg’s expert witness casework is found in his service as an International Police Advisor in Afghanistan and Iraq.  In 2008 he deployed to Kabul for 13 months and served as a police policy developer, senior mentor, and NATO liaison to the Afghan National Police Academy.  He assisted the Afghan academy commander with all aspects of daily operations for 3000 cadets, faculty, and staff. He also secured 50 million dollars in NATO funding for academy renovations. Previously, in 2005 he deployed to Baghdad, Iraq and worked with a committee of Iraqi general officers on a Bachelor’s degree in democratic policing for the Baghdad Police College. In summation, Greg left Centralia College for 25 months to serve his nation and the people of Afghanistan and Iraq as an International Police Advisor in two active war zones.

Greg returned from Afghanistan in December 2009.  In November 2010 he was asked by his former employer to return to Kabul and his duties Senior Mentor to the Afghan Police Academy. Greg immediately prepared for deployment. A few days later he met Julie Ann Sargent. The moment they met everything changed. Julie lights up a room with kindness and grace. Greg and Julie were married on August, 20, 2011. They remain remarkably happy in the life they share with their mischievous Irish Terriers, “Brody” and “Fiona,” and “Maggie Mae,” their beloved German Shepherd. They enjoy traveling and frequently visit Italy and Greece.  In the memorable words of Paul Harvey, “…and now you know the rest of the story.”
Professor Gregory Gilbertson Qualified as Police Practices Expert in U.S. District Courts for Washington and Arizona  

In a recent U.S. District Court trial, Moises E. Ponce Alvarez v. King County Sheriff’s Office, the presiding judge entered the following opinion to defendant's motion to exclude Professor Gilbertson's testimony:

 

“Mr. Gilbertson’s qualifications demonstrate extensive experience in policing. His experience includes work as a Georgia police officer, SWAT team officer, superior court investigator, school resource officer, stakeout squad officer, and senior patrolman.  After his law enforcement career, Mr. Gilbertson became a college professor and private investigator. He has taught courses in criminal justice and conducted pretrial investigations for attorneys in criminal cases. The Court finds his testimony can be expected to have a reliable basis in knowledge and experience.”
