Special Initiatives

There are a number of special initiatives that have been developed and implemented to keep the Armstrong community safe and prepared.

Rape Aggression Defense (R.A.D.)

The R.A.D. System is a comprehensive, women-only course that begins with awareness, prevention, risk reduction and risk avoidance, while progressing on to the basics of hands-on defense training. R.A.D. provides women with the knowledge to make educated decisions about resistance and instills confidence in all those that participate in the program. The class is offered only to female students, faculty and staff free of charge. 

Child Car Seat Technicians

The Armstrong Police has six officers that are certified as child car seat safety technicians. Our technicians have been certified by Safe Kids Worldwide and are available to inspect the installation of child restraint seats as well as educate the caregivers on proper installation. This service is provided free of charge. Call 912-344-333 to schedule an appointment.

Fire Prevention Training

Armstrong Atlantic State University Police Department is committed to the safety and security to the residents, students, and employees that are present on our campus. In March 2010, the University Police acquired a Bullex Digital Safety system to conduct fire prevention training. This system uses water and laser extinguishers to train residents and employees on how put out a small fire. Training can be conducted either inside or outside. This fire extinguisher training is safer, more economical, and greener as compared to previous training media. Classes are scheduled throughout the year.

Cyber Security Research Institute

The Cyber Security Research Institute at Armstrong Atlantic State University is a component of the University Police under the direction of Chief Wayne R. Willcox.  The Institute was founded in 2006 as a part of the university’s continuing efforts to address the growing cyber security education and training needs of our country’s Intelligence, Forensic, Criminal Justice and Law Enforcement professionals.  As cyber threats have escalated, the Cyber Security Research Institute is preparing individuals and organizations on the front lines of our defense to investigate, analyze, assure and secure our increasingly vulnerable technology and communications.

Law Enforcement at Armstrong Resource Network

The Armstrong Atlantic State University Police Department is launching LEARN, a pilot program that will help bring all Armstrong students a better understanding of the criminal justice system and the professional opportunities available for students considering criminal justice as a career path.

It will provide a practical understanding of specific aspects of the criminal justice field, will offer monthly programs that incorporate hands-on applications, including field trips, guest lecturers and practical exercises. The field trips will include visits to courtroom to witness a trial, a correction institution to learn about the workings of the prison system, and the State Capitol, where students can learn about Legislative process.
