BIOGRAPHY

Gregory Gilbertson retired from Centralia College in March 2022 after 22.5 years of service as a full professor of criminal justice. He’s also a former university lecturer, tactically trained 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, Greg became a police officer in Atlanta and LaGrange, Georgia. In LaGrange he served as a SWAT Team member, senior patrolman, school resource officer, juvenile court investigator, and stakeout squad officer. In Atlanta he served as a police patrolman.

Greg holds a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Washington, and a Master’s degree in Justice Administration from Columbus College. Greg became a licensed private investigator in 2002. He specialized in criminal defense casework for 12 years. In 2013 he began consulting with attorneys as an expert witness. He has consulted on over 164 civil rights and criminal cases in 29 states. Greg has testified as an expert witness in the U.S. District courts of Arizona, Louisiana, and Washington State. He has also testified and in the state courts of Washington, Oregon. Illinois, Kansas, and Connecticut. Greg has helped attorneys secure over 16 million dollars in settlements and judgments for their clients.

The origins of Greg’s expert witness casework is found in his service as an International Police Advisor.  In 2008 he deployed to Afghanistan for 13 months and served as a police policy developer to the Ministry of Interior and senior mentor to the Afghan National Police Academy in Kabul .  He assisted the academy commander with all aspects of academy operations for 3000 cadets, faculty, and staff. Previously he deployed to Iraq in 2005 for one year and developed a bachelor’s degree in policing for the Baghdad Police College.

Greg returned from Afghanistan in December 2009.  In November 2010 he was asked to return to Kabul and the Afghan National Police Academy. He immediately penned his resignation letter and prepared for deployment. Two days later he met Julie Ann Sargent and everything changed. Julie lights up every room she enters 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 Terrier, “Brody” and “Maggie Mae,” their beloved German Shepherd. They enjoy traveling and frequently visit Italy and Greece.  Julie and Greg now reside in Naples, Florida. In the words of Paul Harvey, “…and now you know the rest of the story.”

Gilbertson sets a high standard for expert testimony in police practices.  

 

“Professor Gregory Gilbertson's comprehensive knowledge and incisive analyses sets a high standard for expert testimony in police practices.  His credentials are impeccable, and knowledge of police procedures, use of force, de-escalation techniques, and crisis intervention is very high.  Notably, his expertise has been acknowledged and recognized by the federal court. Professor Gilbertson's contributions to my cases have been invaluable. His keen ability to analyze and deconstruct complex situations, particularly regarding the reasonable application of force, has consistently offered pivotal insights. His commentary on police training and policy, coupled with his application of the Graham v. Connor standard, has been instrumental in shedding light on the nuances of use of force. Professor Gilbertson demonstrates an unwavering commitment to clarity and precision.  His lucid explanations and articulate presentation skills makes the complex and contentious topics of police use of force easily understandable to attorneys and the layman alike. He possesses the remarkable ability to distill complicated legal and tactical concepts into comprehensible language without compromising depth or accuracy. Professor Gilbertson's analysis, communication, and professionalism will significantly enhance any legal team. For anyone seeking an expert witness who combines intellectual rigor with impeccable character, I wholeheartedly recommend Professor Gregory Gilbertson."
