KSU Crime Education Programs
The KSU Department of Public Safety sponsors many educational programs to help students and employees become more aware of criminal offenses. These programs provide information on: sexual assault awareness and prevention; date and acquaintance rape; personal safety and security; and campus safety. One program is held each semester and is announced in the student and faculty/staff newspapers, campus flyers, e-mail and college mail. KSU Police provides free Rape Aggression Defense courses and S.A.F.E. courses for female students, staff and faculty.
Rape Aggression Defense (RAD)

The R.A.D.class is a self-defense class for women only. The course consists of a lecture portion on personal safety and is followed by hands on tactical training.
At the conclusion of the class, students wear protective gear and participate in live, simulated attack scenarios with the R.A.D. man. The course is open to all faculty, staff and students at no charge. MORE INFORMATION AND CLASS SCHEDULES
Self-defense Awareness an Familiarization Exchange (S.A.F.E)
Self-defense Awareness & Familiarization Exchange (A course designed by the National Self-Defense Institute) is a two hour program offered by the KSU Police for female students, faculty and staff at KSU. The program is based upon the following ideas: violent crimes are crimes of opportunity, and when you remove the element of opportunity, you reduce the risk of attack. 90% of self-defense is mental preparedness; the other 10% is physical.
S.A.F.E. will provide participants with great crime prevention information and resources as well as a pre-basic familiarization with physical training methods.
