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.

As we honor those who have served our country and made the ultimate sacrifice, it is also heartening to see the military right a wrong. Chris Davis brings us the moving story of a Purple Heart ceremony two decades in the making. It's worth a watch.
A heartfelt thanks to all who bravely serve.
