Rape Aggression Defense Classes

rad-logo.gifThe Pima County Sheriff's Department is proud to offer Rape Aggression Defense (R.A.D.) courses designed to teach and empower women against sexual assaults and attacks.

R.A.D. Systems is actually a functioning network of dedicated self defense instructors that was established in 1989. This alliance of Instructors believes that self defense should be easy to learn, easy to retain, and relatively easy to employ during real confrontational situations. This alliance believes that self defense training should be accessible and affordable for all women and children. They believe that their efforts to oppose violence will be more effective together, than as individuals. As a network they can assist one another with programs, equipment, references, experiences and insight. But most importantly, they honor each others teachings, allowing each of them to give every participant they train, a lifetime return and practice invitation anywhere there is a R.A.D. Program being offered - Cost Free!

R.A.D. classes are offered throughout the year.  The next class is scheduled as follows:

June 24 & July 1, 2012, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., in Tucson

September 15 & 22, 2012, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., in Tucson
