Council acts as an <br />advocacy/advisory group and provides a forum for the <br />exchange of information between seniors and lawen- <br />forcement. <br />Programs designed by the senior groups themselves <br />are supported by all agencies to the extent that bud- <br />gets allow, other sources of funding would be by d0- <br />nations or fund raisers initiated by the senior groups <br />themselves.(many examples are available to look at - <br />also to be noted is the Bureau Of Justice, Washington <br />D.C., has funds available which can be applied for. <br />Council members are a valuable source of input and <br />should be c:alled on for assistance. They can assist in <br />determining the concerns of the community's senior <br />population, assess the availability of existing services <br />and programs for the elderly, and recommend addi- <br />tional strategies. S.A.L.T. Council members may also <br />take part in the crime prevention and victim assistance <br />portions of the TRIAD program, and help to identify <br />potential volunteers to carry out TRIAD activities. <br /> <br /> <br />- <br /> <br /> <br />1 <br />
