DailyProgress.com | Area partnership aims to curb elder abuse: "Social workers, police and prosecutors in Albemarle County are teaming up to help protect elderly and disabled residents from physical, sexual and financial abuse in a new program seeking to open the lines of communication among investigators.
Albemarle Citizens Safe and Protected is a collaborative partnership among the agencies traditionally called on to investigate claims of abuse: the county’s commonwealth’s attorney’s office and its police and social services departments.
Facing an increase in financial abuse cases, the agencies decided to meet regularly and share information in their work to help elderly and disabled victims."
