Basic Self-Defense and Pepper Spray Classes
- The Basic Self-Defense class is 90 minutes long and incorporates risk awareness discussion with simple physical self-defense techniques
- The Pepper Spray class is one hour and focuses on when and how to deploy pepper spray, and what type of pepper spray product works best
- Classes are open to all students, employees, and community members. The classes do not have to be taken together, or at the same time, but we highly recommend that people who carry pepper spray take both
For upcoming basic classes – drop-in classes, no registration required - Please visit our University of Oregon Police Department Facebook
For questions, or to request a class for your group, please contact Sergeant Jared Davis @ Jared.Davis@uopd.org
