Another program we are proud to support is the TRIAD program It is designed to provide the elderly residents of St. Landry Parish proper information needed to protect themselves from predators and scams that take advantage of the elderly. It also gives the elderly an avenue for assistance in their needs, whatever it may be. The officers involved in this program, go to the elderly people's residence and check on their well being periodically to ensure they are safe and provide assistance as needed.
