How does S.A.L.T.
work? |

A S.A.L.T. Council is a group made
up of law enforcement representatives, senior citizens, and
community organizations interested in seniors. S.A.L.T. groups
meet regularly to discuss issues related to crime and its impact
on seniors. The local S.A.L.T. groups focus on reducing the
fear of crime and improving the quality of life for seniors. |
