The Basics of Self Defense will be the theme for the Marion Women’s Business Council’s January program. Set for Monday, January 9, 11:30 a.m., Greg Perry will review what busy women can do every day to help ensure their personal safety, along with steps to take if you find yourself in a dangerous situation.
Perry is the Director of Law & Criminal Justice at the Marion Technical College where he currently oversees and teaches college courses in the legal and criminal justice program, as well as acts as commander of the Marion Law Enforcement Academy. He is also the owner and primary instructor at GAPerry Training Co., LLC, which provides firearms and deadly force training to law enforcement agencies and civilians. Prior to entering the academic world, Perry served 20 years in law enforcement, including 17 years as a criminal prosecutor and three years as a detective and deputy sheriff. Still a fully sworn reserve deputy, Perry carries an impressive resume of certifications and associations.
