This free program is open to females aged 18+, 16 with adult or guardian. Attendance is required both nights because this is a progressive learning program. There is no exam and no one is required to do anything that they do not feel comfortable with. The first night involves learning strikes, blocks, and blows. The second night provides an opportunity to test your skills against an "attacker." Bring a friend! It's more fun!

To sign up or get information, contact Lt. Dan Minton at 617.745.5719 or dminton@quincyma.gov. In the event of inclement weather, please contact Lt. Minton for further instructions.

What distinguishes Jim and fellow community officer Greg Mar is their genuine interest in helping those in need. The Food Center has difficulty finding regular volunteers to cover the early morning shift on Fridays, which entails unloading our weekly food delivery from the Greater Boston Food Bank. Officers Whedbee and Mar responded to our plea for held and faithfully arrive on Friday mornings at 7:30 a.m. to do the heavy lifting. They have unloaded, stacked, and organized more than 6,000 pounds of food. They make food order bags, sort donated food items, break down boxes, and help clients out with their groceries. Jim has also encouraged others to volunteer including his own children.

Officer Jim and Greg always go the “Extra Mile,” and their dedication to QCAP clients and the Food Center is commendable.” - QCAP

Last fall Americans turned in nearly 460 tons (more than 900,000 pounds) of prescription drugs at more than 5,800 sites operated by the DEA and almost 4,800 of its state and local law enforcement partners. Overall, in its 16 previous Take Back events, DEA and its partners have taken in almost 11 million pounds—nearly 5,500 tons—of pills. This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s National Survey on Drug Use and Health shows year after year that the majority of misused and abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including someone else’s medication being stolen from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines—flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash—both pose potential safety and health hazards.
