RAD class to be offered for women Feb 21st & 22nd! 
The Torrance Police Department is once again offering a free 12 hours Rape Aggression Defense (R.A.D.) course for women only. The class will be on Friday February 21st from 6-9pm and Saturday February 22nd from 9- 5pm. The R.A.D. course is a comprehensive course for women that teaches awareness, prevention, risk and risk avoidance. There will be hands on self-defense techniques taught.
The Rape Aggression Defense (R.A.D.) program is a nationally recognized self-defense program for women. It is a free 12 hour training seminar that will teach you how to protect yourself and the ones that you love by detecting, preventing and deterring violent encounters.
Our Instructional objective is to develop and enhance the options of self defense so they may become viable considerations to a woman who is attacked.
This class is reserved for residents, employees or members of civic groups in the city of Torrance. The R.A.D. class is restricted to attendees 14 years of age and older. For those ages 14 & 15, a mother or other female guardian must attend the class as well (or at minimum be present during the class). For those 16 & 17 years old, a parent or guardian must sign a waiver, but need not be present.
The first class session will be a classroom presentation and the second day will be the practical application. Wear comfortable clothing like sweats or leggings to cover the knees, and athletic shoes.
This program is instructed by R.A.D. certified members of the Torrance Police Department and is held at the Torrance Police Department. For more information on this program, contact Sergeant Chris Roosen [email protected].

***Please note if you sign up to make sure you are able to attend. There is limited space in the class and we want to give those who are committed the opportunity to attend. In the last few sessions we had several people drop out last minute and would like to avoid this. Please be mindful of the date and only register if you are sure you will be able to attend. ***
