NEW 2025 DATES! Women's Self-Defense Class

The Broomfield Police Department is proud to present an empowering and educational self-defense class for women. This program has been named Her Own Hero and will be offered free to all.

The course is designed to provide an opportunity for women to learn necessary self-defense and crime prevention fundamentals, both physical and mental, to address a wide variety of situations. Attendees are welcome to attend regardless of previous experience or fitness level.

Two classes are being offered to those who'd like to attend.

Basic course

The first is a basic, three-hour course that covers safety essentials such as boundaries, mindset, assertiveness, situational awareness, and more. Participants will learn simple and effective safety techniques designed to build confidence. Those vital and life-saving skills will be a part of the participant's "toolbox" of options moving forward.

Advanced course

The advanced class is five-hours long and takes participants to a whole new level of empowerment. BASIC CLASS IS A PREREQUISITE. During this session, women have the opportunity to put their newly learned skills to the test as they "fight" their way out of specific scenarios. During the drills, participants will make a risk assessment of their situation, and then determine the best course of action.
