Ohio Academy of Jiu Jitsu has offered this morning to “help train the selected civilian volunteers FREE of charge if NPD or LCSO don’t already have a program in place. They currently offer programs for law enforcement and first responders to train at free/reduced rates. They also wondered if teachers might be interested in some type of training as well, since they are often a first line of defense—an unfortunate reality, but one where preparedness could make a difference.” I have passed this forward to the superintendent and I will be calling the licking county sheriffs office as well as Newark police department again today. Those who would like to be trained with the Ohio Academy of jiu-jitsu can reach out to Bryn Taylor her phone number is 740-880-8217!
