When Police Stories Need to Hold Up in the Real World

I advise film, television, and documentary productions on authentic law enforcement procedure, investigations, decision-making, and behavior. I bring real-world insight to stories where credibility matters and details need to hold up under scrutiny.



About Me

30 + Years of Real-World Law Enforcement Experience

As a former sworn officer, I understand not just what officers do, but how they think, speak, and respond when the pressure is real. 

I bring that experience  to productions where procedural accuracy, behavioral realism, and credibility matter.

Client’s Testimonial

I had the privilege of working alongside Robyn Bartholomew for 27 years at the Polk County Sheriff’s Office. She is one of the most dedicated and dependable professionals I’ve known. As a longtime detective, Robyn was exceptionally detail-oriented, thorough and conscientious. Her integrity and work ethic set a high standard, and I am confident she brings that same professionalism and trust to her business.

Bob Stanton

Chief Deputy, Polk County Sheriff’s Office Des Moines, Iowa

Robyn Bartholomew is a skilled, intelligent and insightful investigator who knows how to step back, trust her instincts and consider all possibilities in a complicated case. She is personable, thoughtful and sensitive when dealing with victims and their loved ones. Robyn is someone you want on your team, and someone I’m proud to consider a colleague.
