The Maryland-National Capital Park Police, Prince George’s County Division, recently hosted a five-week RAD (R**e Aggression Defense) course at the Southern Technology Center in recognition of Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
Throughout the course, participants learned practical self-defense techniques while also strengthening their confidence, awareness, and mindset—all critical elements that can increase the odds of survival if they are ever faced with an attack.
We would like to extend a special thank you to Sgt. Sherard, Sgt. Charles III, Cpl. Tucker, Cpl. Charles, Ofc. Thomas, and Ofc. Harriss for their dedication and assistance in making this an impactful and successful training for all participants.
Empowering our community through education and awareness is one of the many ways we work to keep our parks and neighborhoods safe.
