Women's Self-Defense Class

The Mt. Juliet Police Department is pleased to offer a Women's Self-Defense Course to our community's ladies. The department teaches The Equalizer Women's Self-Defense Program (EWSP), and has staff members certified to teach the course at the department.

This program educates women about how to recognize and reduce their risk of being victimized by violent crime and property crime and how to defend against, survive and escape a physical attack.
