Free Woman's Self-Defense Class With Quincy Police

QUINCY, MA — The police department is running a free self-defense program for woman.

The program is open to women 18 and older, and to 16 and older if accompanied by an adult or guardian. This is a two-night class scheduled from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Feb. 25 and 26. Attendance is required both nights as the classes build off each other.
