SHARP

(Sexual Harassment and Rape Prevention)

The Loveland Police Department, in conjunction with Alternatives to Violence, provides a self-defense training for women and adolescent girls as an important element of crime prevention in our community.

The S.H.A.R.P. course for women is a basic defensive tactics course designed to help women manage and cope with issues and situations they can control. The course is taught by female police officers and civilian instructors. Participants will learn both physical and non-physical skills to discourage harassment and assault. This course has been taught nationally since 1991 and it focuses on these specific areas: 

Harassment and Sexual Assault Overview
Prevention Psychology
Managing Social and Professional Harassment 
Sexual Assault Countermeasures

There is no age requirement, but we encourage parents to consider the maturity of the juvenile and the explicitness of the course content.
