TRIAD
TRIAD is a community policing initiative between seniors, law enforcement, and service providers to increase safety through education and crime prevention. It's goals are to
- Enhance delivery of law enforcement services to older persons
- Reduce criminal activity that targets seniors
- Alleviate senior's fears of victimization
- Help build senior citizens confidence
- Improve their quality of life
S.A.L.T.
TRIAD on the community level is implemented by a S.A.L.T. Council composed of Seniors, Police, Sheriff's Office, District Attorney's Office, Council on Aging, Adult Protective Services, Fire Department, and Representatives of other civic and community groups. The S.A.L.T. Council determines the needs of the community's seniors as it relates to crime prevention and safety awareness and coordinates activities to meet those needs.
Project Fire Safe
This joint program, involving the South Hadley Fire Departments, provides smoke and carbon monoxide detectors free of charge to elders. Requests must be made through the council on aging. This program is limited to supply.
