Participants in the class were instructed on how to be prepared, how to take control, and how to fight to protect themselves. This class was conducted free of charge, and it is available to other area female citizens also.
Sheriff Root stresses that it is our goal at the Laurel County Sheriff's Office to make area female citizens more aware of their surroundings, and to provide some preventative safety measures that can be utilized along with some basic self defense that can be deployed in the unlikely event of an attack. Congratulations graduates!!
