About
Prepare your people before the emergency happens.
We Are Rhinox Research Group
Rhinox Research Group is a readiness partner that helps organizations strengthen workplace safety, emergency preparedness, and critical incident response through practical training and planning.
We work with businesses, nonprofits, churches, schools, and community organizations that want more than one-time instruction. Our goal is to help teams build real-world readiness through training that is clear, interactive, and built for the environments people actually work in.
What We Do
Rhinox delivers workplace readiness programs designed to improve staff awareness and prevention, de-escalation readiness, emergency response confidence, decision-making under pressure, and preparedness during disruptive, medical, and violent incidents.
Our training offerings include De-Escalation Tactics, Active Shooter Response, First Aid CPR/AED, and Unarmed Self-Defense. We also provide structured readiness support for organizations seeking recurring training, refresher cycles, and long-term partnership.
Alongside our organizational programs, we run live firearms and personal defense classes for individuals in Louisville, including the Kentucky CCDW permit course, basic and defensive handgun training, and USCCA Instructor Certification.
Our Approach
We believe readiness training should be practical, relevant, and easy to apply when it matters most. That means our programs are built to be interactive rather than passive, structured rather than improvised, real-world rather than theoretical, and scalable rather than one-size-fits-all.
We focus on helping people understand what to do, when to do it, and how to respond with greater confidence under pressure.
Why Rhinox
Rhinox Research Group is veteran-owned and built on real-world training experience, clear standards, and professional instruction. Organizations choose Rhinox because we bring a practical, real-world perspective, hands-on instruction built for retention, professional delivery and strong communication, scalable workplace readiness programs, and a readiness-focused approach designed for long-term partnership.
