REDLANDS >> The Redlands Police Department will again offer a personal self-defense and safety seminar designed especially for women, from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturday, May 21, at the Redlands Community Center Gymnasium. The seminar is part of the Redlands Police Department’s Street Smart program which is designed to increase participants’ level of awareness and minimize their risk of victimization. The seminar is designed for women and girls from ages 13 and up and will include a personal safety presentation as well as hands-on training. The class includes presentations by members of the Redlands Police Department, hands-on training in self-defense tactics and a personal safety question and answer session. The cost for the seminar is $15. All of the fees collected will be applied to the Street Smart After School Self Defense program.
