Eventbrite – SAFE with WPPD, Women’s Safety Awareness Course
The Winter Park Police Department in partnership with the Victim Service Center of Central Florida is conducting women’s S.A.F.E. classes for women who work and live in the City of Winter Park. This project is funded by a grant from the Winter Park Community Foundation funds of the Community Foundation of Central Florida, Inc. Participants will become familiar with the “survival mindset” and practice several techniques for avoiding potential abduction encounters perpetrated against women.
“If you were targeted for a violent attack, you are only guaranteed there will be one person there to defend you and that person is you…YOU are your best defense.”
