Refuse to be a Victim


Safety experts agree the single most important step toward ensuring your personal safety is making the conscious decision to Refuse To Be A Victim®. You stand a much better chance of preventing criminal attack if you develop a safety plan before you need it.

The seminar teaches easy-to-understand methods you can use to increase awareness and prevent criminal confrontation. In just three to four hours, you will get the tools you need to develop your own personal safety strategy, including information about:

* The Psychology of the Criminal Mind
* Home & Phone Security
* Automobile & Travel Security
* Personal & Technological Security
* Self-Defense Devices and Training Options
* And more!

Any class marked as an Instructor
Development Workshop, will include a
seminar on Saturday. The seminar is always
open to all, the IDW is for instructor
candidates who must also attend the seminar.
