TRAINING

Crime Prevention
NRA’s Refuse To Be A Victim program provides men and women with common-sense crime prevention and personal safety strategies. During three- to four-hour seminars, participants learn about a wide variety of strategies and devices suitable for increasing automobile, home, Internet and travel security. Instructor Development Workshops (IDWs) are designed to train instructors to teach Refuse To Be A Victim seminars. Since certified instructors schedule seminars on a daily basis, the most up-to-date schedule is available at www.nrahq.org/rtbav, by e-mail at refuse@nrahq.org or by phone at (800) 861-1166.
