TRIAD Committee

TRIAD is a community-based policing initiative between seniors, Law Enforcement, and service providers of the community to increase safety through education and crime prevention.

In 1992, TRIAD was started in Two Rivers to meet the concerns and needs of our senior population. The Two Rivers chapter of TRIAD was one of the charter organizations in Wisconsin. The concept of TRIAD is to have law enforcement and seniors working together to make our community a safe and secure place to live. TRIAD is not an acronym; it simply represents a group of three, with the three main components of our organization being, the senior population of our community, law enforcement, and the service providers of our community. TRIAD is a non-profit organization made up of volunteer participants.

Although TRIAD was started here in 1992, TRIAD is not a new concept and there are many TRIAD organizations throughout the United States. The mission of the Two Rivers TRIAD is to improve the quality of life for our seniors by partnering with law enforcement, senior serving agencies, and seniors to promote older adult safety and to reduce the fear of crime that older adults often experience.

Your local TRIAD has been involved and benefited the community in a number of ways. TRIAD has sponsored several conferences and meetings, including the 2006 State Conference and the local City Council Candidate Forums. TRIAD has sponsored and coordinated the enforcement of the Address Display Project, the Central Park West Project, Community Clean-Up, Shop with a Cop, Two Rivers Police K-9 program, and The Two Rivers Senior Center. TRIAD of Two Rivers has also been involved in many local events such as Two Rivers Community Care Day, the Senior Health Fair, and the Manitowoc County Crime Prevention Day.

TRIAD meetings are held the third Tuesday of each month at 10:00 AM at Two Rivers City Hall in the Council Chambers and the public and/or prospective members are invited!
