The Essex County TRIAD is a community safety initiative that focuses on empowering, educating and improving the safety, security and peace of mind of the senior population.
The goals of TRIAD are to:
Reduce criminal activity which targets the senior community.
Alleviate senior’s fear of victimization, build confidence and improve their quality of life.
Enhance the delivery of law enforcement services to the senior population.

How Does TRIAD Work?
Lynnfield has established its own TRIAD Council that assessed the needs of our community. It is presided over by a chairperson, vice chairperson and secretary who are active seniors in the community. The establishment of a TRIAD council empowers local seniors to assist members of their community by creating, organizing and operating various programs throughout the community.
