Dr. Stiehm has provided expert consultation and litigation support in matters involving police use of force, arrests, officer decision-making, training, supervision, and accepted law-enforcement practices. His work includes reviewing body-worn camera recordings, reports, policies, training records, depositions, medical documentation, and other case materials to develop clear, evidence-based professional opinions.
Every engagement is approached with independence, thorough analysis, and respect for the facts. Stiehm Solutions Consulting does not begin with a predetermined conclusion. Opinions and recommendations are grounded in the available evidence, applicable legal standards, established police practices, professional training principles, and the totality of the circumstances.
Whether supporting litigation, evaluating an agency’s practices, reviewing a critical incident, or developing customized training, Stiehm Solutions Consulting provides practical insight informed by real-world experience, advanced education, and a detailed understanding of modern policing.
