Weaver, AL – The Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office boasts a team of certified instructors in the Rape Aggression Defense (R.A.D) program, which they generously offer to citizens in a 12-hour course at no cost. This program has been thoughtfully designed to empower individuals, with a particular focus on women, by providing them with essential self-defense skills. The R.A.D. curriculum centers on instilling four fundamental principles: education, self-reliance, independent decision-making, and the realization of one’s inner strength. The overarching goal of the R.A.D. System is to equip individuals with effective self-defense options, ensuring that they are prepared to confront potential threats.
The course itself covers a wide range of topics, including awareness and risk reduction techniques, voice commands, and fundamental self-defense maneuvers. The R.A.D. program is dedicated to offering women practical defensive concepts and techniques to protect themselves from various types of assault. These techniques are rooted in easy-to-learn yet highly effective self-defense tactics. Ultimately, the program aims to provide women with the knowledge necessary to make informed decisions when it comes to self-defense.
