TRIAD is the agreement of law enforcement agencies in a county (Sheriff's Office, Police Department, etc.) and older or retired persons in the community to work together. TRIAD is the concept of cooperation between law enforcement (Bristol County Sheriff's Office, Taunton Police Department), senior services (Taunton Council on Aging) and seniors in the community to reduce the criminal victimization of the elderly.
TRIAD is a partnership to address crime issues that affect older citizens and methods that may expedite delivery of law enforcement services to these persons.
TRIAD is enhancing the lives of seniors by assisting them in defining and prioritizing their needs.
TRIAD is empowering seniors to find solutions to their needs through self-designed programs and activities, or by utilizing other resources such as community support, outside agencies, private businesses and independent organizations to achieve their goals.
