Due to South Carolina Governor McMaster's Executive Order (2020-09), Campus Police is not able to offer the R.A.D. program at this time. Due to the requirements of this program, virtual instruction is not available.
R.A.D. is a rape aggression defense course. It is a personal safety education program
with a practical blend of threat avoidance strategies and real world assault resistance
tactics. The focus of the R.A.D. course is on the development of personal and physical
safety skills that can be safely practiced in a comfortable learning environment.
The R.A.D. program is not a traditional self-defense course. It fills a longstanding
void by enabling individuals to learn a set of cognitive and physical skills which
will be beneficial for a lifetime. R.A.D. participants find the manner of instruction
to be supportive and the course to be a very empowering experience.
The R.A.D. program, which has been taught to thousands of individuals at universities
worldwide, is offered to participants through Campus Police. Our certified R.A.D.
instructors work together teaching the courses to provide students, faculty, and staff
with a more personal experience.
Campus Police offers two separate courses, R.A.D. Basic Physical Defense for Women
and R.A.D. for Men. These offerings provide a truly holistic approach to self defense
education, supporting the necessity of continuous learning in order to provide realistic
options for each population as they go through life.
If you are interested in participating in R.A.D., contact Campus Police at 803/323-2213.
