Portland PD will offers basic self defense for women
Beginning in March, the Portland Police Department will offer its first Rape Aggression Defense (R.A.D.) Training class for 2009. R.A.D. provides women with the tools they need to both avoid dangerous situations and to escape them.
The course is specifically designed to help women survive situations in which their lives are in jeopardy.
This class is open to all women in the Greater Portland area who would like to develop real life defensive tools and tactics. The Basic Self-Defense Course consists of a series of four classes and one scenario day. The class is scheduled for March 3, 5, 10 and 12, from 6-9 pm and March 14 from 8 am-noon. All classes must be attended to complete the course. The classes will be held at the PPD, 109 Middle St.
A donation of $25 is suggested. All donations support the Amy St. Laurent Fund, which sponsors the R.A.D. trainings. To sign up or to receive more information, email eac@portlandmaine.gov or call 756-8306.
