Marlborough TRIAD Brings Community Together
By Shari L. Covino
It’s official. Marlborough has become a part of a
program in Connecticut that will curtail criminal
victimization and enhance delivery of law enforcement
services within the community for its elderly citizens.
The Town’s Senior Center was host to
pomp and circumstance on Tuesday, becoming a part of the
State’s TRIAD program. TRIAD, the 30th program of its
kind formed within the state of Connecticut, began some
ten years ago out of an idea to help the community in
Bridgeport. Now the program has consistently progressed
over time, which includes subprograms like the Yellow
Dot Program within its structure. Town officials signed
an Agreement and commitment on May 3rd that brings
together law enforcement, seniors, and the business
community.
First Selectman Nancy S. Bader welcomed
Guest Speaker Attorney General Richard L. Blumenthal to
Marlborough who then thanked everyone that had a part in
the TRIAD program, lit the blue candle representing law
enforcement, and signed the TRIAD Agreement. Other Town
officials also signed the Agreement.
“Citizen soldiers working on the front
lines against crime, for public safety, and public
health, that is what the TRIAD program is all about,”
says Attorney General Blumenthal as he spoke to
enthusiastic guests at the event on Tuesday, May 3rd.
The TRIAD logo represents three
community groups coming together as the program is
designed to prevent victimization of the elderly. It
brings the business community along with the entire
community together working with programs that help
seniors to age with dignity and safety.
