In Brevard County, TRIAD is a partnership between many different organizations tasked with identifying and developing programs to address the needs and concerns of senior citizens. Issues such as personal safety, health concerns, transportation needs, and other issues will become important topics as our senior population of 108,000 nearly doubles over the next ten years.

TRIAD on the community level is implemented by a S.A.L.T. Council (Seniors and Law Enforcement Together), which may include seniors, law enforcement, service organizations, civic clubs, clergy, media, health care professionals, and business community members. The S.A.L.T. Council determines the needs of the community’s senior population.

What TRIAD Does for Seniors

Education: It sponsors seminars and workshops on crime prevention, health care, and other important concerns of senior citizens.

Outreach: Through programs designed to help our homebound seniors, it helps to reduce fear and increase peace of mind.

Forges Links: It provides a forum to discuss the concerns of seniors, identify problems, and develop and implement community-wide solutions.

What Can Result from TRIAD

Seniors benefit from regular contact with service providers and gain knowledge of available services.

Law enforcement gains a better understanding of seniors' fears and concerns, enabling law enforcement to develop programs to meet those needs.

Service organizations benefit from improved distribution of services, cooperation with other providers, and a better understanding of the challenges facing law enforcement.
