Ontario Provincial Police are teaming up with the Northwestern Health Unit and the Older Adults Mental Health Program on a new program aimed at seniors.
The Seniors and Law Enforcement Together, or SALT, is intended to give seniors a say into how the agencies can better help them.
Constable Anne McCoy says the first meeting was held yesterday.
"We're just in the beginning stages," says McCoy. "You can come out and be on the committee or come out and just be a part of it on a month by month basis. We're not looking for a huge commitment. We're just looking for some input and some involvement from older adults in our community."
McCoy says part of the committee's role is helping police promote policing programs focusing on seniors.
