Pope County WIC in Glenwood, MN is a community organization that focuses on promoting senior safety and reducing the fear of crime among older adults. Through their partnership with law enforcement, senior citizens, and community groups, they aim to educate seniors about safety and empower them to be the eyes and ears in their communities. With a goal to reduce crime against the elderly, Pope County WIC facilitates information exchange and collaboration between law enforcement, senior providers, and older adults, while also organizing crime prevention and education programs for seniors. Since its formation in 1988, Pope County WIC has been working closely with the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), and the National Sheriffs' Association (NSA) to develop effective solutions for the unique challenges faced by older adults. They host an annual State Triad Conference, where counties can share best practices and learn from each other, fostering networking and collaboration. If you're interested in starting a Triad program in your community, Pope County WIC can provide guidance and support to enhance senior safety.Generated from the website
