Crime Prevention Tip: Standing Ovation for this staff member for listening to her intuition. The staff member sensed that something was not right and odd about this request and did not enter into the subject's vehicle. We do not know what this person's intentions were / are, but a UT staff member was thinking on her feet. Great Job! Since April of 2001, our department has been teaching a women's self defense class called RAD. In this class we stress to everyone about listening to your in intuition. When something does not seem right, chances are they are not. 2400 BLOCK SAN JACINTO BLVD.
