RITE Police Training Makes TEDx

What an honor to have our good friend and RITE Trainer, Sgt. Jones present at Tedx, in February of 2019. Sgt. Fred Jones, PIO and Internal Affairs Supervisor of Lake County Sheriff’s Office, gave an amazing Talk in Eustis, Florida, on how RITE’s Racial Intelligence Training can help many officers reduce Use of Force.

“Get out of the car, or I will GET YOU OUT of the car!”

The TED Talk you’re about to watch, is directed at Officers of every age, skin color, race, rank, and gender. Law enforcement can either escalate use of force, or learn this Secret to de-escalate.

Fred Jones, a RITE Training instructor, taught RITE Training to the entire department Lake County Sheriff’s Office, including Road patrol, Correction, and Dispatchers.  Since that training the Lake County Sheriff’s Office has seen first-hand the impact that training has made within their agency:

• 50% reduction in police complaints
• 60% reduction in use of force
