Kenneth J. Peak is emeritus professor and former chair of the Department of Criminal Justice, University of Nevada, Reno, where he was named Teacher of the Year by the university's Honor Society. Following four years as a municipal police officer in Kansas, he subsequently held positions as a nine-county criminal justice planner for southeast Kansas; director of a four-state technical assistance institute for the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (based at Washburn University in Topeka); director of university police at Pittsburg State University (Kansas); acting director of public safety, University of Nevada, Reno; and assistant professor of criminal justice at Wichita State University.

He is past chair of the Police Section of the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences and past president of the Western Association of Criminal Justice. He received two gubernatorial appointments to statewide criminal justice committees while residing in Kansas and holds a doctorate from the University of Kansas. Dr. Robert E. Grubb, Jr., retired as Sergeant, Roanoke City Police Department in 1991. He has personal experience with the information covered in the proposed text. As part of his training opportunities, Dr. Grubb engages in discussions with current agency personnel to ascertain their needs with regards to communication skills development. So, he is continually seeking and receiving data that supports the use of this type of text in both educational and training facilities. He was the criminal justice program coordinator at Cumberland University, criminal justice program director at Columbia State Community College, and an award-winning associate professor at Marshall University where he served as the department chair, graduate director, and internship director. He is currently pursuing an additional degree in Information Systems with an emphasis in digital security at Middle Tennessee State University.
