HELPING SENIORS PROTECT THEMSELVES AGAINST CRIME
Crime Stoppers, in partnership with Innovation-Action Incorporated, wishes to sensitize seniors on how they may protect themselves against crime. Crimes, and the fear of crime, create special problems for
seniors. They are at risk for deception or fraud, robbery, intimidation, vandalism, and abuse. Never feel guilty for saying “no” to con-artists and get-rich-quick schemes. Protect your credit card,
pin number, and your money. Have good locks installed on windows and doors to protect against robbery and vandalism. Never
open your door to strangers. Abusing an adult who is vulnerable, primarily due to age, is elder abuse (read more on Elder Abuse below). Seniors in Crime Stoppers will pay up to $2,000 for information leading to the arrest of individuals committing crimes against our seniors. Call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.
ELDER ABUSE: HELP STOP IT
Elder Abuse is any action which causes harm to, or neglect of an older person. It can take the form of physical abuse (defined as any violent act that causes physical injury and/or taking the form of neglect), psychological abuse (such as name calling, treating older people like children, scolding or denying access to friends and family) or financial abuse (i.e., when seniors are forced to sign over control of their money, homes, assets or wills). The most scary part of Elder Abuse is that it is often perpetrated by a care giver, neighbour, family member or close friend.
People often feel that Elder Abuse is a family matter or fear that interference will make the problem worse. These attitudes only enable the problem to get worse and consequences to those we should respect most in our society could be fatal. If you have any information about Elder Abuse, we encourage you to report it to your local authorities or to Crime Stoppers by calling the toll-free tips line at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Your call will always remain anonymous and you may be eligible for a cash award.
