SENIORS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT TOGETHER

S.A.L.T. stands for Seniors And Law Enforcement Together. It is a cooperative effort of the Clark County Sheriff’s Office, Camas Police Department, Vancouver Police Department, and the senior citizens of Clark County.

What is S.A.L.T.’s purpose?

• To decrease crime and the “fear” of crime in order to raise livability for our seniors.
• To increase and improve senior crime prevention and education.
• To improve local law enforcement’s knowledge of the crime prevention needs of seniors.
• To identify the concerns of local senior citizens.
• To improve senior victim assistance.
• To involve senior citizens in crime prevention and the educational efforts of S.A.L.T. and to raise awareness of the community of these special issues.

What does S.A.L.T. do?

• Monthly meetings featuring speakers on relevant topics such as Elder Abuse Awareness, Understanding Dementia, Senior Health & Fitness, Avoiding Scams, etc.
