About Us
| CNY Personal Safety was formed in 2003 by 2 brothers, Shawn and Patrick who saw the need for "Self-Defense" training for their fellow Emergency Medical Service workers. After a few years of training, trial, and error, CNY Personal Safety developed one of the only personal protection systems specific to the EMS and Fire service. Since that time, CNY Personal Safety has branched out to provide many different types of personal and professional defense training. |
