How we react to a volatile situation is key. This training dramatically improves our Emotional Response when engaging with others, especially in pressure situations.

We make 35,000 decisions each day!
Deciding what we eat, what we wear, what we say, and how we’ll say it, our brains are on the go from the moment we wake up. The fact is, about 90% of the decisions Officer’s make, are based on emotions.

Officers and Emotional Intelligence
The benefit of emotional intelligence training, is in learning how officers can utilize it in the community. When using tactics of influence, emotional intelligence provides a groundwork for successful engagement. Emotional Intelligence is the foundation of RITE’s Emotional Response Training (ERT).

Many times coworkers and zone partners escalate situations because they themselves are in a negative space. Having emotional self-control means you value yourself, and are willing to work on yourself. But not all officers know how to ASK for help.

Emotional Response Training (ERT) helps us recognize signs and symptoms of stress, PTSD, and suicidal thoughts. ERT offers ways and means to build up positive mental health for every officer, and a way to work on themselves in their own space and time.

Course Summary
Decisions we make come from either our logical or emotional mind. Emotional intelligence (EI) is knowing how our emotional mind works, and learning to control our emotions, especially in pressure situations.

This course is necessary for anyone in public service, as it goes beyond work-life, and benefits home-life as well. Maintaining control over our emotions, especially in today’s policing, is critical. This course has been taught since 2015, and has helped many. Link to photos and surveys.

Officers with high Emotional Intelligence:

Manage emotional responses (ERT)
Recognize their emotions and why
Connect the link between emotions and behaviors

This training focuses on how to use better Emotional Responses to successfully manage the behavior of others. Law enforcement officers often encounter volatile situations, and their response can either help a situation or escalate it.

RITE has simplified the (6) modules taught in this class, to utilize the information immediately. Students learn practical skills using unique Tools for managing emotional responses, and ways to harness the power of the emotional part of the brain. Having a high EI is critical to working with in public service.

Emotional health issues are a known risk to an officer’s health and well-being. This training is a MUST for every first responder.

(4) Issues of Poor Mental Health

Depression, anxiety, and PTSD
Lack of Productivity
Even when available, most won’t seek help
Officer suicide

Officers have higher rates of depression, burnout, PTSD, and anxiety than the general population. Coworkers and zone partners often escalate situations because they themselves are in a negative space. Since not all officers know how to ASK for help, this training is critical.
