The Redmond Police Department (RPD) will be presenting a free Women’s Personal Safety class on Thursday, Sept. 27 at 6 p.m. at the RPD Training Room at 8701 160th Ave. N.E.

This is not a self-defense class, this is a proactive approach to safety rather than “reactive” and is suitable for ages 15 and older.

Some of the topics covered include:

• How to prevent becoming the victim of assault or robbery.
• Potentially dangerous situations and how to avoid them.
• How to handle “road rage” and prevent accidents.
• The pros and cons of weapons for personal security.
• How to make a safety plan.
