A local law enforcement official is taking the time to remind seniors of how to stay safe physically and financially. 

DeWitt County Sheriff Mike Walker indicates that he has worked with the TRIAD program for some time now and feels that it's always worthwhile to teach the elderly how they can prevent dangers like falls or financial abuse. He says TRIAD sessions will take place over the next three Wednesdays throughout DeWitt County. 

The Sheriff says much of the task at hand is spreading awareness for seniors. He adds that many young people get information from sources like the internet, which many seniors don't or are unable to access. 

Sheriff Walker points out that the TRIAD program used to host all three sessions in a single location; however, they have changed it to give better access to the information to seniors all throughout the County. 

The first TRIAD session of 2025 takes place on Wednesday, October 8th, at the Warner Library in Clinton, at 1:30 PM.
