Southlake DPS Empowers Seniors with Self-Defense Training

Members of the Southlake Senior Activity Center learned valuable skills this week as Officer Page from the Southlake Police Department led an engaging and educational self-defense class. The hands-on session focused on practical safety techniques designed to help older adults build confidence, awareness, and preparedness in everyday situations.

Participants practiced simple yet effective moves for self-protection and discussed strategies for staying alert in public spaces, at home, and while traveling. Officer Page also shared important tips on crime prevention and personal safety—reinforcing the city’s ongoing efforts to keep residents informed and empowered.

The class reflects Southlake DPS’s broader commitment to community engagement and proactive safety education. Through outreach programs like this, the department continues to strengthen connections with residents of all ages while promoting confidence, independence, and well-being among Southlake’s senior community.

The Senior Activity Center regularly hosts programs that support healthy, active lifestyles and lifelong learning. For more information about upcoming classes and activities, visit Southlake Senior Activity Center’s website or contact the center directly.
