Violated by a Bad Apple?

Or... Were You Violated by a Good Apple
Who Spoiled in a Rotten Barrel?
 
YOU NEED EXPERT WITNESS TESTIMONY
 
  • Move to settlement quicker with an airtight expert report establishing civil illegality and systemic (organization culture) culpability (i.e. a Monell claim) when present.
  • Achieve accountability for civil rights violations.
  • Reveal how organizational culture, from executives to line-level employees, fosters police misconduct and civil rights violations.
  • Expert testimony can clearly identify these elements to a judge or jury.​
​

Organizational culture spoils because inappropriate behaviors are accepted (uncorrected by supervision) AND repeated.

Once repeated - they become the new culture.

Welcome to Police Misconduct Pro, your go-to resource for expert insights and testimony into law enforcement misconduct and organizational culture.

​

I'm Bob Woolverton, a seasoned law enforcement executive with 34 years of experience, holding a Masters degree in Management and Leadership. I am a proud graduate of the FBI National Academy and served as a trusted leadership instructor for the Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission for over a decade.  I write articles for law enforcement magazines and I am also a contributing author to the Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics' (SCCE) Complete Compliance and Ethics Manual.

​

I can often articulate either a FAILURE TO TRAIN or an organizational culture that facilitates civil rights violations through a FAILURE TO SUPERVISE / LEAD.  There is a unique culture in the law enforcement industry that ranges from a new recruit’s first day when their field training officer says to them, “Hey kid, forget everything they taught you in the academy, I’ll show you how to do real police work.”  To small agency executives who do not want to alienate their officers by holding them accountable and in return getting a reputation of being out of touch and not knowing what it’s like on the streets today.  In between those two extremes there are dozens of additional failures that can only be articulated by someone who has been there.


My decades of experience and training enable me to articulate to a Judge or Jury the unique contributory causes that led to your civil rights violation, saving you time and money.  Frequently, when my expert witness statement is entered into the docket, the other side is motivated to settle – they don’t want my testimony in front of a Judge or Jury.  This gives you a negotiating advantage.


Empower justice and accountability in law enforcement.  Explore my insights, drawn from over three decades of experience as a law enforcement executive, FBI National Academy graduate, and leadership instructor.  Whether you seek an expert witness for misconduct cases or aspire to enhance ethical leadership within your local police organization, together, we can navigate the complexities of law enforcement culture.  Contact me today to make a difference in the future of policing.
