TRIAD

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

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 speaking engagements, community collaborations, targeted training for seniors and law enforcement practitioners, providing a support mechanism to current local TRIAD groups.

Shenandoah County had three TRIAD conferences in 2023.

Please keep an eye out for any announcements on upcoming TRIAD events on our website as well as the Shenandoah County Parks and Recreation website at https://shenandoahcountyva.us/parks.

Project Lifesaver

The primary mission of Project Lifesaver is to provide timely responses, to save lives and reduce potential injury for adults and children with the propensity to wander due to a cognitive condition. Citizens enrolled in Project Lifesaver will be issued to wear a small transmitter on the wrist or ankle, that emits an individualized frequency signal.

If a citizen enrolled in Project Lifesaver gets lost or goes missing, the caregiver notifies their local Project Lifesaver agency, and a Search and Rescue Team will respond to the last seen or transmitted area. This technology enables first responders to use the client’s individualized frequency to locate the individual, in a safe and efficient manner.

To become enrolled in Project Lifesaver, please contact the Sergeant of the School Resource Officers Division at (540) 459-6100. For more information, please visit here.
