The Area Agency on A ging is the um brella group, which keeps aware o f needs and resources for elders. In particular, they pay attention to the state legislature and lobby on behalf o f seniors. Since 1994, the State Attorney G eneral’s Task Force on Elder Abuse has brought together law enforcement, social services, victims, senior advocates and other interested parties to discus prevention strategies and how each can assist law enforcement agencies to protect and control fraudulence against seniors and others. Hardy M eyers, present Attorney General, continues this em phasis on the well being o f seniors and disabled. The task force meets quarterly and provides training and resources to businesses, social service groups and others who want to understand and protect those who are vulnerable to various kinds o f exploitation.
