Event Description

The Roanoke County TRIAD meeting is held the 1st Thursday of alternating months from 1 pm until 2 pm at Friendship Living in Roanoke, Virginia. 

Reducing Senior-Focused Crime

TRIAD is a cooperative effort of law enforcement agencies (police/fire/sheriffs), senior citizens, and senior organizations, focused on reducing crimes against our most vulnerable citizens: our seniors. 

Increasing Awareness

The goal of TRIAD is to reduce the fear of crime and victimization among seniors by increasing awareness of scams and frauds targeting them, strengthening communication between the law enforcement and senior communities, and educating seniors on local and state resources that are available in their community.

This goal is accomplished through

  • Community collaborations
  • Marketing the TRIAD concept to non-participating localities
  • Providing a support mechanism to current local TRIAD groups
  • Speaking engagements
  • Targeted training for seniors and law enforcement practitioners

Virginia TRIAD Success

Virginia TRIAD has also been recognized by the National Association of TRIADs, Inc. as having the highest number of active local groups nationwide and is the only state in the nation with a statewide coordinated office at the Executive Level of government.
