“We can always control what goes on inside.”
This Wayne Dyer quote is the backbone of Emotional Intelligence and what we teach in all of our RITE Classes. Simply put, if you can gain control of your emotions (in every situation), you can control how you interact with others, especially under pressure.
“Everyone who deals with the public, should have training on controlling their emotions. Although we can’t control others and what THEY feel, we can learn to control our emotions, and what WE feel.” ~ Randy Friedman, RITE Co-founder
All Racial Intelligence classes helps the individual understand their Emotional Intelligence (EI) and Social Intelligence (SI) that helps the officer, the department, and the community. RITE training has traveled the country…
“It is one of the most informative trainings I’ve ever been part of,” Officer Shaunda Wilson said. “It reminds us that if we don’t take care of ourselves we can’t take care of others.” ~ Northern Illinois University Police, DeKalb, IL
“If we can teach and learn the techniques to control our stress, anger, and preconceived notions, we can better relate with empathy, sympathy and provide an overall better service to the community we serve.” ~ LaGrange Police, GA
“Police-community interaction is probably the biggest component that police have to face,” Chitwood says. “Whether they’re racial components, or dealing with the community as a whole, this kind of training can at least give you the tools to deal with the community in a more proactive way. I think if you look across the country, I think there needs to be more of this type of training.” ~ Upper Darby Police, PA

Evidenced-based Training
Evidenced-based RESULTS means RITE Training decreases use of force. Racial Intelligence combines Emotional Intelligence (EI) and Social Intelligence (SI), which has been successfully used in corporations for years. RITE helps your department head towards a bias-free.
Racial Intelligence: “The practice of using Emotional Intelligence (EI), Social Intelligence (SI), and the RITE Tools, to treat ourselves and others fairly.” Learn more about EI and SI…
How does the RITE model work?
RITE improves the officer’s communication skills (first), so they can engage more effectively with others. Old cultural diversity training (teaching officers what they’re doing wrong) is ineffective in improving police-work. De-escalation techniques, Implicit bias understanding while using EI, empowers the officer with better, more effective decision-making (for themselves and the department). Improved engagement and morale is noticed in the department, and builds Community trust.
Trainers learn the RITE 3-prong approach:
-
- Officer Communication Skills: Emotional Intelligence Tools for Resiliency and De-escalation; to use personally and professionally
- Improve the Department: Social Intelligence helps with Bias-free policing, Recruiting, Improve morale, and Accountability
- Build the Community Relations: Bias-free policing will Enhance public trust
