More Safe training planned

By ASSOCIATED PRESS Tuesday, October 21, 2008 - 4:39 a.m.

From the WCLO newsroom:

Janesville police plan to expand "SAFE" training in the school district.

SAFE stands for self-defense, awareness, familiarization, and exchange. Sergeant Brian Donohoue says the classes were so popular, they'll likely be expanded.

Donohoue says during the first sections, the participants were very enthusiastic. Donohoue has great confidence older teen age girls, and women can learn from the course. Word is, at least one class participant has already put these new skills to use.

The next set of classes is planned for January and February.

polert why is everything negative from you IMO
I think this is a great thing with the way things are now days. Janesville has a lot of students that are above average and the courses today are far harder then in the past.

I hope this is a after school activity. If the regular school day is used for this then it explains why Janesville's national test scores have dropped in science,and math.
