Triad: A national community policing initiative wherein law enforcement professionals, seniors and community groups partner to meet the crime-safety needs of seniors. Download the Triad Senior Living Survey.


Mission Statement

The City of Brentwood Triad council is committed to improving the quality of life for the senior citizens of our community by enhancing their health, safety and security through communication, education and outreach.


Goals

Reduce crimes against the elderly and reduce the unwarranted fear of crime that seniors often experience.


Senior Facts & Why They Become Victims

About 31% of seniors (10.5 million) live alone. Persons 85 years and older are the fastest growing segment of seniors. Americans 65 years old and older are a fast growing demographic group. In 2011, the baby boom generation will begin to turn 65. By 2030, it is estimated that there will be 70.3 million seniors. This is equivalent to 1 in 5 Americans. Seniors will live longer. Eventual declines in cognitive and physical functions could make them more vulnerable to victimization.
