Additionally, during community association meetings, neighbors are able to voice concerns regarding safety.

During the class, an instructor works through scenarios to escape an attacker through a variety of maneuvers to break someone’s grip.  There’s also advice given to participants on how to stay alert and aware of their surroundings.

People can sign up for the free course online. Click here for more information.
