He regularly spends time with groups of law enforcement officers including but not limited to the Los Angeles Police Department, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, The California Highway Patrol, and the United States Department of Homeland Security Immigration and Customs Enforcement Division.

For thirty years, Dr. Roberts was a practicing clinical psychologist first in Deer Park, California and later in Pasadena, California. During this same time period he was Director of Mental Health Services at St. helena Hospital and Health Center (1977-1985); Assistant Dean of Student Services at UCLA’s School of Social Welfare (1985-1993); and Department Chair and faculty member in psychology at Antioch university, Los Angeles (1993 – 2008).
