Last month Assemblywoman Melissa Melendez sponsored a Women’s Safety and Self Defense workshop for her constituents. A Karate master provided instruction on self defense, while Lt. Zachary Hall, with the Lake Elsinore Sheriff’s Station, gave a presentation on personal Safety.

The workshop was attended by Spanish Hills resident Barbara Paul, who wants to share key points discussed at the workshop. Here are a few points Barbara is passing on:

• A healthy level of paranoia is beneficial.
• Before getting into your car, look under the car, and in the back seat.
• If you’re riding a bike, consider riding against traffic — You may risk getting a ticket, but you’ll improve your awareness of “traffic” around you.

Barbara also was able to obtain Lt. Hall’s presentation. Lots of good stuff and you can view it HERE.
