Law enforcement professionals realize the nature of their work can put them in dangerous situations where hand-to-hand defensive tactics are required. The criminal justice program at Barton Community College has acquired two padded training suits, known as RedMan suits, to allow students to experience such situations first-hand, safely.“It’s got a lot of padding but you are still able to feel where you are getting hit at,” Criminal Justice Student Seth Gruber said. “It’s good for students so we can gain the knowledge that comes with the full experience.”The Barton Foundation funded the Barton Criminal Justice Department’s request for the RedMan training suits through the Lee Turner Endowment.
