What is TRIAD?
TRIAD is an organization of law enforcement agencies in a county (sheriff's office, police departments, etc.) and older persons in the community who work together to reduce the criminal victimization of the elderly and maintain their safety in the home.
How does TRIAD work?
TRIAD uses a S.A.L.T (Seniors And Law enforcement Together) team approach.
