Chris Butler, Chief Training Officer for Raptor Public Safety Coaching Inc., retired as an Inspector after 34 years in law enforcement. During his policing career, Chris became a full-time instructor in the academy, teaching both recruits and in-service police officers a variety of physical use of force techniques and combat firearms instruction. For the last several years of his career, Chris developed and instructed Incident Command / Crisis Decision-Making training to sergeants, staff sergeants, and Inspectors. Chris’s passion for exploring and understanding exceptional human performance in rapidly unfolding, ambiguous, high-consequence events began during his 6 years as a technical mountain Search and Rescue Technician. His exploration for evidence-based training methodology has continued throughout his law enforcement career. Chris has been fortunate to be able to work with some of the world's top researchers, coaches, and physical skill performers.

In 2025, Chris was inducted into the National Law Enforcement Officer Hall of Fame as Trainer of the Year.
