About TRIAD

Working to reduce criminal victimization and unwarranted fear of crime affecting the elderly

TRIAD is a program of the National Sheriffs' Association that teams local law enforcement agencies and senior organizations to work toward reducing criminal victimization and unwarranted fear of crime affecting older adults.

The Allen County TRIAD was formed in 1995 with the goal of providing education, information, awareness, and resources to seniors in the county.

TRIAD members are committed to improving the quality of life for seniors and developing a safer environment in which to live.
