From the article Canada warned about controversial police shooting expert (2013):
Canadian authorities are being warned about a controversial U.S.-based "police psychologist" who critics say provides advocacy testimony for officers accused of wrongful shootings.
Bill Lewinski, a self-proclaimed authority in police use of force, has testified as an expert exclusively for police officers in as many as 75 cases in the United States since 1990.
More recently, he has testified in at least three cases in Canada, including two in Alberta.
He has also conducted use-of-force training for police officers from Edmonton and Calgary.
But American critics question Lewinski’s credentials, his research and his testimony.
