Triad Program

TRIAD was introduced in Oldham County by Sheriff Steve Sparrow for the senior citizens. It consists of a three-way effort among the Oldham County Sheriff, the police chiefs in the county, and the senior leadership in the area, who agree to work together to reduce the criminal victimization of older citizens and enhance the delivery of law enforcement services to this population. TRIAD provides the opportunity for the exchange of information between law enforcement and senior citizens. It focuses on reducing unwarranted fear of crime and improving the quality of life of seniors.
