Humble Police Department: R.A.D.

HOW LONG IS THE R.A.D. CLASS?
The typical R.A.D. class runs approximately 15 hours long. This is typically broken up into two 3 1/2 hour classes and two 4 hour classes, usually run for four consecutive days.

HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE IN EACH CLASS?
While there is no set amount of students for each class, we do limit class size to ensure that each participant feels comfortable and is able to receive proper instruction. No less than 16 and no more than 26.

WHAT TIME IS THE CLASS?
Class times will be varied due to demand and actual participation. An example of the offered class times might be 5:30-9pm or 1-5pm.

DO I HAVE TO GO TO ALL FOUR CLASSES?
Participation in four classes is necessary to "complete" the class and receive your pass to any future R.A.D. classes held throughout the United States, free of charge.

DO I REALLY GET TO HIT SOMEONE IN A SUIT?
Yes. You will get the chance to practice what is taught to you in previous classes, on one of the instructors who will be dressed up in a well padded protective suit. This is called simulation training and is a valuable part of the class as it gives the student a chance to see how their newly learned skills work in real life situations. This part of the class is optional, but is encouraged.

DO I NEED TO BE AN ATHLETE TO PARTICIPATE?
Not at all. The class is designed so that the average person can take it. We instruct people to go at their own pace and we never ask you to do something you can’t do, or do not want to do.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
The class is currently offered for $25.00. Make checks payable to RAD Texas Education.
