Upcoming RAD women's self defense class hosted by LPD. Contact Officer Deckard for more info. [email protected]
The Lafayette Police Department will be sponsoring and hosting a RAD (Rape Aggression Defense) class on November 10 – 12th, 2014. The classes will be held at the Lafayette Police Department Training Center, 1301 South St, and be from 6pm – 10pm each night. Classes are for women only and for ages 13 and up. This is a 12-hour program and attendance is required at all three classes.
RAD is described as the following:
“The Rape Aggression Defense System is a program of realistic self-defense tactics and techniques for women. The R.A.D. System is a comprehensive, women-only course that begins with awareness, prevention, risk reduction and risk avoidance, while progressing on to the basics of hands-on defense training. R.A.D. is not a Martial Arts program. Our courses are taught by nationally certified R.A.D. Instructors and provide each student with a workbook/reference manual. This manual outlines the entire Physical Defense Program for reference and continuous personal growth, and is the key to our free lifetime return and practice policy for R.A.D. graduates.”
Women interested in attending the classes need to contact Officer Amanda Deckard, [email protected], or Officer Shana Wainscott, [email protected]. The officers can also be reached at the Lafayette Police Department’s non-emergency number, 807-1200.
