He has over 10 years of practical law enforcement experience, including time as an in-service instructor, field-training officer, patrol sergeant and department training manager. Paul is actively engaged in police research and training across the country and regularly presents to both academic and practitioner audiences. His early research received awards from the American Society of Criminology and the Division of Policing at the American Society of Criminology.

He is a Colorado native and received his BA in criminal justice from the University of Colorado Denver School of Public Affairs before going on to complete his MA and PhD in criminal justice at the University at Albany, State University of New York.
