Reader comments:
  • "Ken Murray has the essential ingredients that make a great law enforcement trainer: Passionate commitment to his mission of officer safety, sincere respect for his students, encyclopedic knowledge of his subject matter, and the ability to communicate that knowledge in and organized, entertaining, and easy to understand manner. Now Murray has blessed the military and law enforcement community with a book that embodies those traits. Training at the Speed of Life is THE definitive text on Reality Based Training by one of the pioneers ni this area. It covers all aspects: philosophy, methodology, learning styles, safety, equipment, debriefing, and the nuts and bolts of constructing and running scenarios. It needs to be MANDATORY reading for law enforcement agencies that want to give their officers the gift of life, and their communities the gift of well trained officers."
    - Dr. Alexis Artwohl, Police Psychologist and Author of Deadly Force Encounters

  • "Thanks for the copy of your new book, "Training at the Speed of Life." It is apparent to me that your textbook is without a doubt the most comprehensive and well-referenced work to date on the subject of reality-based training. I am not aware of any other text that discusses the many facets of developing, conducting and controlling safe and realistic training. Please accept my congratulations and appreciation for your lifesaving efforts in this regard."
    - John Kolman, Captain (Ret'd) Los Angeles County S.D. and Founder of the National Tactical Officers Association
  • "If you are a use of force instructor or a department training officer, you need to read Training at the Speed of Life. If you're a street cop or a field officer concerned with officer safety, you can get a great deal of self-learning by reading and applying what the book has to offer. If you haven't figured it out by now, I highly recommend Training at the Speed of Life. "
