Safety Training
Emergency Management offers training in many areas. Some of this training is provided through downloadable presentations and others are provided by staff. We can customize training for a department or university building or provide specific training with functional exercises. Training is provided at no cost to the requesting unit.

Active Shooter
Critical incident and active shooter training is available through the ULPD for any group upon request.

The Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) System is a self-defense program for women that is designed to teach effective techniques for personal safety. Primarily focusing on risk awareness, prevention, and practical self-defense strategies, the RAD program empowers women with the knowledge and skills to protect themselves in threatening situations. The program is suitable for all levels of experience and physical ability, and participants are encouraged to progress at their own pace.
