NEWTON — The Sussex County TRIAD organization will host a Law Enforcement Seminar for seniors being held at Selective Insurance, 40 Wantage Avenue, in the Borough of Branchville from 8 a.m. to noon on Friday, Oct. 30, with a free continental breakfast included.

The seminar will consist of classes on Car Seat Safety Law Update, Senior Fraud Education and Protection, a Demonstration by the Sussex County Sheriff’s K-9 Unit as well as other new, informative classes. Seniors will have the opportunity to meet with local law enforcement officers and county personnel to gather information on current crimes affecting seniors, facts to combat unwarranted fear of crime, problems faced by seniors and programs that are offered by the Sussex County Sheriff’s Office.

TRIAD is a partnership between the sheriff, the police chiefs in the county and the division of senior services.

TRIAD provides the opportunity for an exchange of information between law enforcement, county personnel and senior citizens.
