The City of Irving is once again opening its doors to community members looking to learn self-defense. The Irving Police Department announced the return of its R.A.D. (Rape Aggression Defense) program, slated to start this November. The course promises to equip participants with "realistic tactics to defend yourself and others."

Due to heightened concerns around personal safety, these classes are a response to those seeking empowerment through self-defense training. "You can't predict when danger will appear, but you can be prepared," reads the post on the Irving Police Department's Facebook page. Participants are encouraged to act quickly, as the department notes, "Spots fill up fast!"

Interested individuals are urged to seal their spot by making a reservation on the program's website. The official announcement, as seen on the Irving Police Department’s Facebook page, details the importance of being prepared for unpredictable situations and the value of self-defense skills.
