Register Today for March 22nd Session
As the pandemic has shifted, more and more of us are returning to work in our office buildings throughout the downtown Seattle area. Maintaining personal safety while navigating the downtown Seattle area and while on public transportation is a concern that many of us share.
You and your firms are invited to join us for a crime prevention and personal safety discussion facilitated by representatives from the Seattle Police Department. Through this session, you will:
- Know the important role your instincts and gut reactions play
- Discover potentially dangerous situations and how to avoid them
- Learn how to make a safety plan
- Decrease the odds of becoming a victim
We are offering two 90-minute sessions: Our first session is open to all genders. The second session is specifically tailored to women. You may attend the session of your choice.
All PSALA members and their firms are invited to participate!
Have a question that you would like to submit in advance? Please submit it here.
Meeting links will be sent after registration. Both sessions will be recorded.
