They agree to work together to reduce the criminal victimization of the elderly and enhance the delivery of law enforcement service to older persons. The Boone County Triad is coordinated by a senior advisory council called the S.A.L.T. Council. The S.A.L.T. Council is made up of seniors and representatives from AARP, area law enforcement agencies, and senior service providers. The S.A.L.T. Council has regularly scheduled meetings and focuses on discussion on senior health and safety. A major purpose of Triad is to develop, expand and implement effective crime prevention and education programs for older community members.
Triad works to improve the quality of life for seniors.
By providing an opportunity for the exchange of information between law enforcement and older persons, Triad can also focus on reducing unwarranted fear of crime. Triad began when three national organizations agreed that the crime-related needs of the elderly could best be met by a cooperative effort. The Triad logo illustrates the joint leadership of the program. The three triangles signify cooperation on the national level and the working relationship among local Triad leaders.
