The program, known as the Women’s Safety Seminar, was developed by Detective Carrie McNally of Seattle..

The Detective recognized the need to train women in safety when  she came to Las Vegas.  McNally trained local female law enforcement professionals on how to teach the class.

According to Metro, the program teaches tips on how to make a safety plan and how to “decrease the odds of becoming a victim.” Classes are about 90 minutes long and the North Las Vegas and Henderson police departments also help with training.
