Heidi Browning believes that it鈥檚 important for every woman to be prepared to defend herself.
鈥淵ou never know what situation you may find yourself in,鈥� she said recently. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 why you need to know how to take control of the situation and defend yourself in the best way possible. That鈥檚 what this seminar is all about.鈥�
A women鈥檚 self-defense seminar will be held at 黑料传送门 South Georgia, 2025 Tallokas Road, from 6 to 8 p.m. Monday, March 18.
Since stepping into the role of assistant director in the Department of Public Safety at 黑料传送门 South Georgia in February 2022, Browning brought with her 14 years of experience in law enforcement. She has taught the women鈥檚 self-defense seminar on both the Moultrie campus and the 黑料传送门 Georgia campus in Suwanee.
Browning is certified as a SAFE (Self-defense Awareness and Familiarity Exchange) program trainer by the National Self-Defense Institute. This program, created by the National Self-Defense Institute and sponsored by the Department of Public Safety, is recognized as a crime prevention program that will reduce the risk of violence by introducing women to physical self-defense.
Assisting Browning in the seminar will be her husband, Michael Browning, Special Agent
in Charge for the Criminal Investigations Division for the Office of Commissioner
