Private Donation: The Fort Collins Police Services Victim Services Team has been given
$5,000 from a private donor to be used exclusively for the R.A.D. (Rape Aggression Defense)

different types of self defense programs which could be offered to female victims of crime, as
well as other community members, once there we had adequate numbers of instructors. In light
of the recent "serial sexual assault cases, the requests made to Police Services for self defense
training were more than it could handle. The donor wishes the monies to be used to train
additional certified self-defense instructors (members of the Victim Services Team and/or law
