This fall, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department will continue its popular “Lady Be Aware” training sessions.

The first half of the course is classroom-based, covering essential topics such as cyber safety, home safety, and situational awareness. Participants will learn to recognize and avoid potential dangers in various environments. The second half involves hands-on training, including weaponless defensive tactics and an introduction to handling firearms.
Upcoming classes are scheduled on:

Each session runs from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Sheriff’s Department Training Center, 18901 Institution Road in Devore. The course is open to women aged 16 and older; those under 18 can enroll with a guardian. The cost of the training is $75 per person. Due to its popularity, spots fill up quickly, so early registration is encouraged. To reserve your place, email Ladybeaware@sbcsd.org.
