ALEXANDRIA — The 20th Senior Expo will take place Thursday, June 16 at the St. Mary’s Education Center, 420 Irving Street, starting at 8 a.m.
It’s organized by TRIAD, a statewide organization composed of the sheriff’s office, the local police department and the county senior services director.
The goal of the expo is to reduce senior victimization and enhance the sense of security among seniors through education, training and community involvement.
Three presentations will feature problems and help by speakers and experts from the area. Among them will be Sheriff Troy Wolbersen, Police Chief Scott Kent and Dinara Dykema, county senior coordinator.
The main areas to be presented are awareness of online scams, emergency protocol, such as what happens when you dial 911, and reporting scams to law enforcement and receiving help and procedures.
