West Central Connecticut TRIAD & SALT Council

TRIAD is a national organization that initially started with the National Sheriffs' Association, the International Chiefs of Police, and the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) in 1988. Currently, 47 states are involved in this program. TRIAD is a community policing initiative between seniors, law enforcement, and service providers to increase safety through education and crime prevention. Its goals are to:

• Reduce criminal activity which targets seniors
• Alleviate seniors’ fear of victimization
• Build confidence and improve the quality of life
• Enhance the delivery of law enforcement services to older persons

TRIAD was organized by the United Way of West Central Connecticut in partnership with our local towns of Bristol, Burlington, Plainville, and Plymouth, and their police departments and senior centers. 

In more recent years, TRIAD has been a resource to United Way of West Central Connecticut's Senior and Law Enforcement Together (SALT) Council. SALT Council is TRIAD on a community level. United Way of West Central Connecticut's SALT Council determines the needs of the community’s senior population as they relate to crime prevention and safety awareness, and coordinates activities to meet those needs. The Council, with professionals that provide services to the senior community, is to find ways to minimize the difficulties seniors face in a changing world. 

If you wish to attend SALT Council meetings,  please get in touch with Nancy Micloskey at United Way of West Central Connecticut at 860-582-9559 X 402 for more information and meeting dates/times. New members are always welcome.
