A free women’s personal safety class will be offered from 6:30-8:30 p.m. on April 18 at the Redmond Police Department’s 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. To RSVP, email mdowd@redmond.gov.

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.
