TRIAD is a program dedicated to improving relationships between community members, law enforcement and senior citizens to better protect and serve Virginia seniors.
First brought to Virginia in 1994 by then-Attorney General and later Gov. Jim Gilmore, TRIAD has remained a priority for Virginia attorneys general over the past three decades.
Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares marked the 30th Anniversary of TRIAD in Virginia in Williamsburg on Friday.
“TRIAD’s success is a testament to what happens when state and local groups come together to safeguard our communities. As Virginia’s senior population continues to grow, so too will our efforts to protect them,” Miyares said.
The annual TRIAD Conference brought together chapters from across the Commonwealth and offered attendees the latest information on fraud prevention and senior safety, while celebrating three decades of service to Virginia seniors.
Miyares also celebrated the distribution of $52,392 in TRIAD grants to support the continued efforts of local chapters in protecting seniors.
As part of the 30th anniversary celebration, Miyares presented several awards to recognize outstanding TRIAD chapters and leaders:
- Outstanding Service Through TRIAD: Chickahominy TRIAD (New Kent and Charles City counties)
