Goodwell, Okla. — Oklahoma Panhandle State University’s
Adult and Continuing Education department invites all area
citizens to attend a free, informative seminar this Saturday,
July 15. Entitled “Workplace Violence,” it
will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Texas County
Activity Center. The Oklahoma Regional Community Policing
Institute (ORCPI) is providing the seminar to equip citizens
with tools to respond to violence in the workplace.

addresses workplace violence that occurs while employees
are off-site, including robbery, terrorism, and assault.
