Self-Defense Classes

Sheriff Matt Gentry is pleased to announce that the Cullman County Sheriff’s Office is now offering Women’s Self-Defense Classes. Our deputies developed these courses in response to the high volume of requests from citizens regarding self-defense classes for the public. Our safety courses are free of charge and will be offered throughout the year.

Deputy Chad Whaley will be the instructor for the classes. Deputy Whaley has been with the Cullman County Sheriff’s Office for more than ten years. He has helped train police officers and deputies throughout Cullman County and looks forward to assisting the public in safety awareness and women’s self-defense.

If you would like to participate in a Self Defense Class please contact Deputy Chad Whaley via email at cwhaley@cullmansheriff.org.
