We’re thrilled to share an inspiring story from the heart of Charleston, West Virginia. Join us as we delve into the launch of Project EQ, a groundbreaking initiative designed to embed emotional intelligence into law enforcement training across the state of West Virginia.

This ambitious project, driven by TalentSmartEQ in collaboration with Mountain State ESC, aims to foster understanding, empathy, and effective communication between officers and the communities they serve.

Tackling West Virginia’s Challenges: West Virginia faces numerous challenges, from the opioid crisis to high felony conviction rates. Project EQ addresses these issues by promoting empathy and understanding, helping officers connect with and support their communities more effectively.

Heroes of Change: Meet Errol Randle and Dr. Greg Campbell, the visionaries behind Project EQ. Their dedication and strategic efforts secured full funding and government backing, turning their vision into reality.

Impact and Future Goals: Project EQ’s impact is already evident with the certification of police chiefs and the interest from correctional facilities and educational sectors. The initiative aims to certify 4,500 law enforcement officers in West Virginia by 2026 and expand its reach to other states.

Together, we can redefine community engagement and law enforcement to create a more empathetic and understanding society.
