WHAT IS TRIAD
TRIAD was started in 1988 as a Cooperative Agreement between:
-
National Sheriff's Association
-
American Association of Retired (AARP)
-
International Association of Police(IACP)
Triad is a partnership of three organizations - law enforcement, senior citizens, and community groups. The sole purpose of Triad is to promote senior safety and to reduce the unwarranted fear of crime that seniors often experience.
