Linda Webb, Founder & CEO
As Founder & CEO of RITE Academy, Linda Webb has been dedicating her life to civil service, law enforcement, and fighting fraud for over 35 years.
Her law enforcement career involved patrol, morals unit, selective enforcement unit (vice), police motors, dive rescue, detective, and master police academy instructor (teaching ethics and professionalism). Ms. Webb has taught over 20 diverse police courses, and designed multiple nationally recognized train-the-trainer police programs currently being used today.
She has worked as a contractor for USPS investigating sexual harassment, discrimination, and hostile work environment situations. Ms. Webb has devoted her life to helping law enforcement agencies bettering their department, through enhanced sensitivity training programs, like the RITE Academy.
She has investigated fraud globally, examining thousands of cases involving organized crime rings, insurance fraud, and potential terrorist threats that have been highlighted by many national investigative news media. In addition to being a highly sought-after fraud expert and speaker, Ms. Webb consults for crime drama shows.
As one of the foremost fraud-fighting leaders in the country, Ms. Webb was Assistant Vice President of AIG’s Global Fraud Unit, as well as a private contractor for the federal government, fighting Medicare fraud. She is the past President of a nationwide fraud investigative company employing over 120 personnel, which she helped to build from the ground floor. A pioneer of justice, her trademarked name ‘The Fraud Dog’ is a diverse defender of the public and a leader of the people.
“Public Servants go through rough patches in their career, and we have to do more to help them with officer wellbeing. When you help the officer, in turn you help the agency and community.”
Ms. Webb is dedicated to improving police training, fighting fraud, and identifying corporate corruption. She is a published author of the corporate motivational book, The Athletic Mindset – 3 Tools for Success.
In 2018, an officer taking the RITE class took Ms. Webb aside during a break. He was considering suicide and as he put it, “my only way out of this pain.” Having the personal experience with the suicide of her police partner, and her own demons as a young Officer, Ms. Webb was able to help this commander release the pain.
Mental Well-Being for each officer must be a priority in every agency. Getting great officers through the academy is hard enough, but then to lose them several years later is devasting to a department. We can’t afford to lose any officers in the agency, so we have to focus more on officer well-being.
