BIOGRAPHY

Gregory Gilbertson retired from Centralia College in March 2022 after 22 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 in History 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 150 civil rights and criminal cases in 27 states. Greg has testified as an expert witness in the U.S. District courts of Arizona  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.”
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:

 

“Plaintiff has submitted Mr. Gilbertson’s qualifications, which demonstrate extensive experience in policing. Mr. Gilbertson’s experience includes work as a police officer in Georgia, including assignments as a “SWAT” team officer, superior court investigator, school resource officer, stakeout squad officer, senior patrolman, and patrolman. After his law enforcement career, Mr. Gilbertson went on to became a college professor – where he taught courses on criminal justice - and a private investigator, conducting pretrial investigations for attorneys throughout Washington State in hundreds of criminal cases. The Court finds that, based on his experience, Mr. Gilbertson’s testimony can be expected to have a reliable basis in knowledge and experience.”
