TRIAD has two objectives; reducing crime against seniors, and reducing the unwarranted fear of crime that the elderly often experience. This is accomplished by providing education to seniors about personal safety issues, addressing crime trends that target seniors, and listening to and acting on the concerns of seniors. The Dakota County Sheriff’s Office implemented a TRIAD program in 2016. Throughout the year, Commander John Grant and Detective Tom Hooper have given over 20 presentations to seniors throughout Dakota County. While doing so, they’ve had the pleasure of meeting many great seniors and administrators.
