To empower and educate, the Gahanna Division of Police has announced another installment in its series of Women's Only Self-Defense Seminars, slated for later this month. Led by Officer Blair Thomas and Lieutenant Matt Kissel, these sessions aim to provide women of all ages and physical capabilities the knowledge and skills necessary for self-protection.
The forthcoming seminar focuses on how assailants typically select their victims, the importance of situational awareness, and effective strategies to avoid or counteract physical grabs and hold. As posted on the Gahanna Division of Police's social media page, the event promises a secure and receptive environment for women seeking to bolster their safety preparedness.
Scheduled to occur on Saturday, July 26, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Gahanna Senior Center, attendance is open to the public but requires prior registration. Interested participants can secure their spot by signing up through the provided link, which contains full details of the seminar.
Attention to such initiatives is a reflective measure of the community's attitude towards personal safety and the resources made available by local law enforcement. "Learn how victims are picked from a crowd, situational awareness techniques, and tactics to avoid grabs and holds," notes the public statement, beckoning community members to adopt a proactive approach to their defense.
