Oklahoma County TRIAD
Triad is a collaborative effort between the sheriff's
office, local police departments and senior citizens working together to reduce and
prevent crimes against seniors. Our TRIAD program began in 1997 with 1 full-time
coordinator, Nancy Galloway, who has developed it into the strongest program in the state
and one of the best in the country. S.A.L.T. (Seniors and Law Enforcement Together)
Council is the group which carries out the TRIAD activities. Our goal is to educate
senior citizens on crimes directed at their age group and how to prevent becoming a
victim. Currently we have six S.A.L.T. Councils in Oklahoma County located in Edmond, Warr
Acres, Oklahoma City, Del City, Midwest City and Choctaw. Community partners include
Integris Medical Center, Secure Horizons, Areawide Aging Agency, Southwestern Bell
