Police chief to brief senior center Feb. 13 on community care, well‑being checks and scams
Summary
Chief John Cartlidge is scheduled to attend the Feb. 13 meeting to discuss the police department's work on community care, well‑being checks, and scams affecting older residents; attendees suggested topics they want him to address.
The senior center scheduled a February 13 presentation by Police Chief John Cartlidge to discuss the department’s interactions with older residents and the community care program.
Committee members asked the chief to focus on well‑being checks, what the police and fire departments each handle, how community care coordinates crisis response, and scams that target older adults. "Do the police department or fire department do welfare checks?" a committee member asked, and another attendee asked the chief to address scams typically aimed at older residents.
Staff said the chief will be asked to focus on issues most relevant to older adults, rather than a full department briefing. The meeting also intends to invite Health and Human Services and Fire Rescue at future dates to provide complementary information about the community care program and cross‑agency coordination.
The staff member said the chief has prepared talking points, and staff will share specific committee questions in advance to help the chief come prepared.
