FRANKLIN, Tenn. (WTVF) — The Franklin Police Department has a number of spots open for its Rape Aggression Defense (R.A.D.) Self-Defense class.
The class is free and incorporates awareness building, prevention, risk reduction and avoidance. It also gives attendees hands-on self defense training. It's a 9-hour program.
The minimum age for those attending is 14.
The class will take place from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. June 11 through 13 at the police department. If you're interested, contact Lieutenant Amy Butler at: Amy.Butler@franklintn.gov.

Every night, Forrest Sanders brings us stories showcasing the best of humanity. This story profiles, perhaps, Tennessee's most eccentric resident who made an impact on an aspiring journalist. I'm always in awe of Forrest's storytelling; I truly appreciated his vulnerability with this one.
