Our keynote speaker Lt. Brian Murphy spoke on “Adversity comes to us all, Mindset and Will, Determined the Outcome”. Lt Murphy was the victim of a shooting at the Oak Creek Sikh Temple, Oak Creek Wisconsin. He survived being shot 15 times and lived to tell his amazing story of the will to live and survive.
Lt. Murphy provided an in-depth review of the experience of being shot multiple times and surviving. His message to law enforcement was to be prepared to protect yourself, your community, and come home to your loved ones. His message will never be forgotten by those in attendance.
