FULL BIOGRAPHY

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.”
