You Matter

Officers share their knowledge and skills with youth through structured workshops in an effort to prevent sexual based crimes, and ultimately empower youth to build healthy relationships with their peers.

Women’s Personal Safety Workshops

Workshops, that are offered free of charge, teach tactics designed to be easily learned and remembered by women with no prior training in case they are ever faced with a situation of unavoidable violence
