| RAD for Women Defensive tactics every woman needs to know are taught at the Elkhart County Sheriff’s Department. Detective Norma Alber instructs students both in classroom and gymnasium settings. The classes are taught in the training room of the new corrections facility, 26861 C.R. 26, and another session is scheduled to begin June 4. Women interested in attending should call 535-6576 or send an email. “Whatever your age or skill level, we’ll teach you something to prepare yourself physically and psychologically,” said Alber, a certified trainer in the nationally respected Rape Aggression Defense program. “People need this class if they can’t answer whether they are prepared to defend themselves from an attacker.” |

RAD for Kids RAD (Resist Aggression Defensively) for Kids is a new take on a national program usually geared toward women. The self-defense training prepares people for many different types of situations. RAD for Kids takes the training further, dealing with issues such as schoolyard bullies and safety at home. Classes are divided into two age groups — one for 5 to 7 year olds, and another for 8 to 12 year olds. More 2008 class dates will be announced soon. The RAD for Kids course is taught on five consecutive nights to maximize the effectiveness and keep children engaged. Parents and guardians interested in having children attend the class may call the sheriff’s department detective bureau at 535-6576 or send an email. The sessions are taught by Detective Norma Alber and Cpl. Lon Smith, both of whom are certified RAD instructors.
