Paul Grossman is a law enforcement professional with over 20 years of experience in Colorado, having served in various roles across corrections, the Marshal’s Office, and multiple police departments. After nearly a decade with the Marshal’s, Paul returned to patrol as a police officer and now serves as a Sergeant with an agency located 25 minutes north of Denver.
Throughout his career, Paul has encountered and responded to numerous high-risk, dangerous situations. Since 2014, he has also served as a police instructor at a local police academy, where he has trained hundreds of recruits who have gone on to serve law enforcement agencies across Colorado.
In addition to his academy role, Paul is a trainer for his police department, specializing in firearms instruction (handguns and patrol carbines), as well as less-lethal tactics. He is also a certified Less Lethal Instructor, teaching officers the safe deployment of impact and chemical munitions.
Paul has significant experience in active shooter training. He has conducted courses for schools, training officers on how to respond quickly and neutralize threats to protect children. Additionally, he has led training for churches and other community groups across Colorado to prepare them to respond to violent incidents.
Passionate about real-world, practical training, Paul focuses on preparing students—whether law enforcement officers or civilians—to effectively handle high-pressure, violent situations. His approach is straightforward, focusing on what truly works in the field, and he creates a comfortable, non-intimidating learning environment for students of all levels.
Paul’s goal is to ensure that his students, from beginners to advanced, fully grasp the material and are equipped to protect themselves and their loved ones in an increasingly dangerous world.
As a Subject Matter Expert, Paul has testified in both police and civilian shooting cases, offering his expertise in deadly force, firearms training, and less-lethal tactics.
In 2009, Paul founded PG Firearms Training, LLC, with one core mission: Survival.
