TRIAD
logo_triadAbout TRIAD

Triad was established in 1988 when three national organizations agreed that the elderly could better be protected by cooperative efforts. The relationship was cemented when the organizations - the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), and the National Sheriffs' Association (NSA) - signed a cooperative agreement. The goal of Triad is to reduce the fear of crime and victimization among seniors by increasing awareness of scams and frauds targeting them, strengthening communication between the law enforcement and senior communities, and educating seniors on local and state resources that are available in their community.  This goal is accomplished through speaking engagements, community collaborations, targeted trainings for seniors and law enforcement practitioners, and by providing a support mechanism to and current local Triad groups. Each local TRIAD is tailored to meet the needs of its community and is an integral part of community policing. Through TRIAD seniors can obtain cell phones for emergency use, home smoke detectors, and emergency beacons.
