The purpose
of Southern Aroostook TRIAD is to reduce victimization
of mature adults in this part of Maine.
|
 |
This is a brief overview of TRIAD
and a few of the goals it intends to serve.
The bottom line is that our seniors deserve the chance
to live out their lives free of victimization and
abuse, and with the independence that they truly desire. |
What is TRIAD?
TRIAD is a joint venture in Southern Aroostook County
between law enforcement agencies, seniors, and service
providers.
TRIAD is a partnership whose goal is to address crime
issues that affect senior citizens and enhance the
delivery of law enforcement services to this population.
