Women's Connect: Self Defense!
Sheriff Eric Wallen will demonstrate simple self-defense techniques designed to help individuals prevent an attack, safely disengage, and escape dangerous situations.
Sheriff Wallen will also include hands-on technique demonstrations for those who wish to practice with one another.
Sheriff Eric Wallen is a lifelong Lyon County resident with 28 years of law enforcement experience, currently serving as Lyon County Sheriff. With a background that includes roles as deputy, investigator, sergeant, and sheriff, Eric brings extensive public safety knowledge and leadership to this self-defense class. His experience, education, and commitment to community safety make him a valuable resource for teaching practical personal protection skills.
