Citizen Praises Sheriff's Innovative Programs

Dear Sheriff Neustrom:

Just so you know that I do write complimentary letters in addition to those that criticize, please accept my praise for some of your innovative programs that have been recently highlighted in the media. The programs I speak of are the direct supervision of prisoners approach; the off-site telecommunication visitation for families of prisoners; the call program for the elderly; and the day reporting programs for some offenders. All of these programs show your very humanistic approach to corrections and the general human condition. You are a different kind of sheriff from the standard old Louisiana model, and it has taken some adjustment by the jaded downtown crowd (myself included) to see the wisdom of your ways. Anyway, thank you for your innovative programs, and I am always available with an opinion. I don't lack opinions.

With kind regards, I remain Very truly yours, Albert M. Karre', Jr.

TRIAD & SALT Council

Lafayette Parish TRIAD (the Right Information and Direction) & S.A.L.T. Council (Seniors and Law Enforcement Together)

TRIAD is an agreement between law enforcement agencies and older or retired persons to work together to enhance the delivery of services in order to reduce victimization of elderly citizens. In order to strengthen the relationship between the elderly population of Lafayette Parish and local law enforcement agencies, Sheriff Michael W. Neustrom helped to create the S.A.L.T. Council, through which the Lafayette Parish TRIAD functions. Members of the S.A.L.T. Council include representatives from law enforcement agencies, clergy, retired seniors, and others who are interested in the welfare of seniors.

The goals of the S.A.L.T. Council include:

» Assisting local law enforcement officials with planning for the future needs of the rapidly growing elderly population.

» Assisting with the development of programs designed to educate seniors about senior victimization.

» Improving the sensitivity of local law enforcement personnel in their interactions with elderly victims.

» Reducing elderly citizens' fear of crime.

» Assisting with the delivery of victim assistance to and by older persons.

» Expanding the roles of senior volunteers within law enforcement agencies.
