                                BILL NUMBER:S5905

TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the executive law, in relation to broadening the focus
of the New York state committee for the coordination of police
services to elderly persons

PURPOSE:

This bill broadens the focus of the New York State Committee for the
coordination of police services to elderly persons.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section one amends the Executive Law to expand the focus of the New
York State Committee for the Coordination of Police Services to
Elderly Persons to study and evaluation of effective responses,
including but not limited to Triad Programs as it relates to crimes
against the elderly.

Section two sets an immediate effective date

JUSTIFICATION:

The problem of crimes against the elderly is growing and

ever-changing. The Committee for the Coordination of Police Services
to Elderly Persons should be able to consider new approaches and
programs in addition to current ideas. Crimes are becoming more
widespread and more sophisticated, so it is important to adapt our
responses to changing times.

Crimes against the elderly are on the rise and often go unreported.
In fact, the NYS Office for the Aging estimates that for every one
case of elder abuse, five others go unreported. Such staggering
number's indicates there is a systematic flaw in our efforts to
protect senior's from being victims of crimes.

The Committee for the Coordination of Police Services to Elderly
Persons was assembled to study and evaluate "Triad Programs" which is
the triad cooperative model developed by the American Association of
Retired Persons (AARP), the National Sheriffs Association and
International Association of the Chiefs of Police. The goal of the
Committee is a laudable and useful tool in identifying means by which
to protect the elderly from being victimized. With the expansion of
the Committee's role, it will allow the Committee to study and
evaluate other initiatives as well, which may provide useful tools for
law enforcement to address criminal victimization of the elderly.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

New bill

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

None


EFFECTIVE DATE:

Immediately
