The FSU Police Department’s Crime Prevention Unit is offering a Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) class for women.
This class is essential to women who would like to learn how to defend themselves from violence and deter possible offenders. It is not exclusive to students and, except where noted, is open to all women in the community.
RAD is a fun, free way to meet other women in the area while working in tandem to make our community a safer place. There is a minimum of eight students needed for each class, so it is encouraged to bring friends and family members along.
“I live alone and a class like this would really help me feel more secure,” said Melanie Chaney, who is studying Pharmacy. “I would like to learn how to defend myself.”
A number of RAD classes are scheduled:
Class #1: September 14, 16 Tues/Thurs 6 pm-9 pm
Class #2: October 23 and 30 Saturdays 9 am-4 pm
Class #3: November 1, 3, 8, 10 Mon/Wed 6 pm-9 pm
Attendance is mandatory except during voluntary simulation. The course is 12 hours long with the last three making up part of the voluntary simulation. Walk-ins are welcome, but registration is suggested in case there are any changes to the schedule of classes.
If you are an FSU student, you can also take RAD as a credit course. When registering with FSU, the course number is PEM1405 and will count towards one elective credit upon completion.
You can register by contacting the FSU Police Department’s Crime Prevention Unit: Officer Chris Fender, 850-644-3660, cfender@admin.fsu.edu, or Officer Garrett Williams, 850-644-1388, gwillia2@admin.fsu.edu. (Leave your name and contact number along with the class you wish to attend.)
