Brian Murphy IALEFI's Zero'd In Episode 4 Lt. Brian Murphy On this episode, our guest is Lt. Brian Murphy, retired from the Oak Creek, Wisconsin Police Department, and one of the most compelling voices in law enforcement training today.

On August 5th, 2012, Brian was the first officer on scene at the Sikh Temple mass shooting — one of the deadliest attacks on American soil that year. He was struck by 15 rounds, lost part of his thumb, and had a bullet come to rest behind his carotid artery. He was alone, his long gun was inaccessible, and the gunman he faced had been practicing 300 rounds a week and had scouted the location twice.

Brian didn't just make it out. He stayed in the fight, communicated with arriving units, and helped bring the incident to a close.

In this conversation with IALEFI President Greg Pickering, Brian breaks down what the 2012 shooting revealed about the state of officer readiness, what firearms instructors need to prioritize right now, and the one message he leaves with every audience he speaks to across the country.
