What is the Triad-SALT Council?
The Triad-SALT is a crime-fighting partnership between law enforcement and seniors. The organizations that form the Triad are the AARP, (American Association of Retired People), IACP (International Association of Chiefs of Police) and NSA (National Sheriffs’ Association.)
SALT is an acronym for the partnership, Seniors And Law Enforcement Together.
