Alabama’s first TRIAD was established on August 10, 1994 with the signing of The Tuscaloosa County Cooperative Agreement. Sheriff Sexton also developed this program along with Lt. Andy Taylor. This agreement included A.A.R.P., The Sheriff’s Office, Tuscaloosa Police Department, Northport Police Department and The University Of Alabama Department Of Public Safety. These agencies are working together to help alleviate the criminal victimization of seniors and to serve the special needs of older victims.
