POLICE USE OF FORCE: Police use of force is one of the most troubling issues in our society. Almost every day another video surfaces showing a troubling police shooting or use of force. Gilbertson Investigations specializes in use of force casework. Our expert analysis has resulted in nearly $2 million dollars in judgments and settlements to date.

While most police officers are honorable men and women who have dedicated their lives to public service, some are not. Every agency has marginal officers.  With minimal training in verbal deescalation skills, some officers rely on force to detain suspects or make an arrest. These officers are not above the law.
