TRIAD
TRIAD is a partnership of public and private organizations brought together to address the issues and concerns of senior citizens. Nationally, TRIAD is a partnership formed by an agreement between the National Sheriff’s Association, International Association of Chiefs of Police, and the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP). In Brevard and Seminole Counties, the State Attorney's Office is a major partner in TRIAD with the Brevard and Seminole County Sheriff’s Offices and many other community organizations and business partners; tasked with identifying and developing programs to address the needs and concerns of senior citizens in Brevard and Seminole Counties. Issues such as personal safety, health concerns, transportation needs and others have become important topics as our senior population nearly doubles over the next 30 years.
Community Projects Include:
What TRIAD Does for Seniors
Education: It sponsors seminars and workshops on crime prevention, health care, and other important concerns of senior citizens.
