Campus Police - S.A.F.E.

The Purdue University North Central Campus Police Department offers a free Self-defense Awareness and Familiarization Exchange (S.A.F.E.) program for women.

The S.A.F.E. program will be offered on Wednesday, March 7 from 6-8 p.m. in LSF 02. Class size is limited. Enroll online or call (219) 785-5220.

This unique course provides participants with valuable information on how to become more aware of their surroundings, and participants learn five simple defensive techniques. The program is a two-hour class taught by Campus Police Department personnel. S.A.F.E. educates women on how to protect themselves from crime and introduces pre-basic physical training familiarization methods which are non-strenuous. Each participant will be given a portfolio with more awareness information than is contained in the brief course.

The S.A.F.E. program is based upon the following ideas: Violent crimes are crimes of opportunity, and when you remove the element of opportunity, you reduce the risk of attack. Ninety percent of self-defense is mental preparedness, ten percent is physical and YOU are your best defense.

Come and let's have some fun while learning how to keep ourselves.
