Professor Gregory Gilbertson has consulted as an expert witness in police practices, use of force, false arrest, criminal and self defense in 32 states and the District of Columbia. He has testified as an expert in the U.S. District Courts for the Western District of Washington, Western District of Louisiana, and District of Arizona.  In Alvarez v. King County, U.S. District Court Judge Richard A. Jones entered the following opinion to Defendant’s motion to exclude his 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.”

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."
