Spring Break Safety
Reducing your chances of a sexual assault may be as simple as being aware of your environment, and responding quickly to it. Young women, and their parents, will learn avoidance and awareness skills, and how to enforce boundaries, verbally and physically. The self-defense portion of the program is a “hands-on” lesson to teach you the techniques that can be used to increase your ability to avoid, respond, and escape from a sexual predator.
Classes will be held at the Holmdel Community Center, Crawfords Corner Road. Application available on Police Department website: www.holmdelpolice.org. For more information, contact Sgt. Michael Pigott at mpigott@holmdelpolice.org or 732-946-9690, ext. 1731.
