The Coral Springs Police Department offers free victimization prevention SAFE self defense classes on a monthly basis.

These classes, which are taught in one evening and are less physically demanding than the RAD program, teach women over age 13 to develop the strength, mental focus, and skills to help survive a criminal attack.

Classes are also held at the Sartory Senior Center on the first Thursday of each month from 6:30 to 9 p.m.

Participants must pre-register by calling the class hotline at 954-346-1227.
