Expert Witness/Subject Matter Expert Presentations

There’s a reason Dr. Pastor is often called on as an expert witness: there are few individuals who have his deep experience in these topic areas. Dr. Pastor has “walked the walk” and not just “talked to talk.”

When he is called upon as a certified expert in areas public safety, policing and security methods by both federal and state courts, along with the U.S. Department of Justice & U.S. Department of Homeland Security, he brings in his decades of experience to the testimony.
