City of Redmond hosts two safety classes in January

Greetings,
Two great opportunities below—don’t miss out!
The Redmond Police Department will be presenting a free Women's Personal Safety class on Thursday, January 24th at6:30 p.m. at the RPD Training Room (8701 160th Avenue NE…usually about 90-ish minutes). Please note this isnot a self-defense class, this is a proactive approach to safety rather than "reactive" and is suitable for ages 15 and older. To RSVP,please email mdowd@redmond.gov and feel free to forward to others.
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.
Also, the Office of Emergency Management (OEM) is hosting “Redmond Ready Day 3” on Saturday, January 19, 2013 at Overlake Christian Church (9900 Willows Road NE) from 9:00 am – 5:00 pm. The City’s “Redmond Ready” campaign encourages citizens to be trained in three areas:
1) First Aid
2) CPR
3) Personal preparedness
Redmond Ready Day provides training in all three areas with the only cost being a discounted rate of $14 for first aid and CPR training (usually costs much more). The two-hour personal preparedness class is free. Seats are limited so register today at www.redmondready.org. If you have questions, call Janeen at 425-556-2251.
Be safe,
