Franklin, TN – According to statistics, 78 women are forcibly raped every hour in the United States. Just as startling: One out of four college women reported being sexually assaulted sometime during their four years of school.
The Franklin Police Department is proud to offer free self-defense training to women who live or work in Williamson County. The training incorporates the building of awareness, prevention, risk reduction and avoidance, as well as hands-on self-defense training by experienced police officers.
This 12-hour program is designed for the average woman with no previous experience or background in physical skills training. Mothers and daughters are encouraged to attend this free training together. For more information, click here.
This four-part series will meet on Tuesday 02/08/2011, Thursday, 02/10/2011, Tuesday 02/15/2011, and Tuesday 02/22/2011 from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm at Franklin Police Headquarters.
“Helping to provide this training is something that I always look forward to,” RAD Instructor, Officer Rose Steagall said. “Participants walk away from this experience with a renewed feeling of confidence that they can avoid or overcome an attacker, we just show them how.”
To register, email Officer Rose Steagall, or call (615) 550-6811.
