Special employee training session at Cypress Place

Random attacks have been occurring across the country and are documented daily in the news. Because of the frequency of the attacks it has become critical for residents to equip themselves with safety skills and knowledge, especially while on the job.

On August 14th, Gloria Marcott, self-defense expert and law enforcement officer, will be holding special training sessions at Cypress Place Senior Living. Gloria will be training “employees” on how to use a new technology called the Defense Alert Device, which is a handheld device that utilizes Bluetooth and a corresponding app to send danger alerts and also has the ability to spray a powerful chemical deterrent to stop assailants. Along with getting trained on the device, employees will also be learning safety and self-defense skills.
