The class was taught by Frank Murphy, veteran, martial artist, state police officer and CEO of a protection consulting firm. He was assisted in the training by Bellevue Police Sgt. Mike Hudson.

Writing his novel in spare time over the past four years, he has drawn upon nearly 30 years of police work that included 11 years as a detective sergeant to pen his police thriller set in the fictional Pittsburgh Metropolitan Police Department.
