Officer Hildebrand attended the basic physical defense instructor course at St. Ambrose University in Davenport, Iowa in May 1998. Both officers then completed the course for advanced physical defense at St. Ambrose also in May 1998. Funding for the program's equipment came through the office of Sgt. Steve Macsas and the alumnae of the City of Denton Citizen's Police Academy. Currently, R.A.D. classes are offered monthly at the police department to various community groups as requested.
Individuals are welcome as space allows.
