S.A.L.T. is an organization whose primary goals are to reduce the criminal victimization of older citizens and enhance the delivery of law enforcement services to this population.  S.A.L.T. provides the opportunity for an exchange of information between law enforcement, supportive services and senior citizens.  It focuses on reducing unwarranted fear of crime and improving the quality of life for seniors.  S.A.L.T.   is an integral part of community policing.
