The Boston ASSE chapter presented the whistle/keychains to the police department's Area A headquarters over the weekend
Responding to recent news reports of another attack on a woman in the early morning hours, the ASSE donated the green whistle/key chains for the police to distribute at self-defense courses and to merchants in the area to provide for free to North End residents.
The Boston chapter of the ASSE is one of the nation's largest and has been in existence for 77 years. ASSE, celebrating its 90th anniversary, has 30,000 members.
