OVIEDO, Fla. – Oviedo police officers paid close attention on Thursday during a racial intelligence training by former police officer Linda Webb and RITE Academy training director Randy Friedman.
I think we are going to serve the citizens of Oviedo in a much much better way,” Coleman said.
Friedman explained one of the most important lessons is to take a breath and talk about emotions.
“Emotions drive behavior, so we are teaching officers if you control your emotions you will control every situation and deescalate,” Friedman said.
More training is set to continue on Friday for the rest of the Oviedo Police Department.
