I am a Law Enforcement and Security Best Practice Expert Witness.  My expert work has covered the following areas:  police use of force, rapid action ( active shooter) policies, crowd management and less lethal use of force and training, major scene management, officer-involved shootings, pursuit policy, K9 operations, police labor-hiring, and retention and termination (including Brady issues), homicide, wrongful death and other complex investigations including, homicide, criminal conspiracy, assault, robbery, kidnap for ransom, extortion, and murder for hire.  I have been qualified as an expert in Federal and State Court. 

 

Security/Premise Liability

I offer expert witness services that cover security guard training and licensing, negligent retention, significant event, and account staffing, pre-planning and coordination with law enforcement, use of force, deadly force, and private security best practices. 

 

I spent twelve years as the Officer-in-Charge of the most critical investigative units in the Los Angeles Police Department, including The Special Investigation Section, Homicide Special, Robbery-Homicide Division, and the FBI Violent Crime Task Force-Los Angeles. 

Expert Witness

Expert testimony is the testimony made by a qualified person about a scientific, technical, or professional issue. Experts are often called upon to testify due to his/her familiarity with the subject or special training in the field.

Private Investigations

Adam has worked as a licensed private investigator since his retirement from the LAPD, handling cases that range from corporate compliance to workplace violence to criminal defense work, child custody and divorce, trademark theft, and more.
